I am DEFINATELY an anxious person! (I think I get it from my mom). I am not one of those people who can just sit back and let things work themselves out. I always feel like I have to FIX whatever is wrong right now. It causes some serious stress AND anxiety.
My anxiety reliever- crying.

If I am really bothered by something or upset about something, I just break down and cry for like 15 or 20 minutes. Then I call my best friend and cry to her for a few minutes. Then she talks to me about it, and I end up feeling a little better. I know it sounds rediculous, but sometimes just talking and crying REALLY do help ease some of the tension.
I also write (or type) in a journal. I was surprised at how much that really helps.
Ok, sorry for the hijack!
Aephi Alum... Maybe you would be able to handle that commute- and if you think you can and it would stress you out LESS, then try it for a little while. I personally could NEVER handle taking that long to get to and from work. Just sit and think about how much time that will really add on to your work day. In the end, most of the time you spend in this house that you love, you will be sleeping. I would make sure that's worth it before you make the final decision.
I agree with whoever suggested renting.... You might be able to find an inexpensive small place to stay at during the week and then go home on the weekend. It might make things just a tiny bit less stressful, and you can continue your house hunt.
Whatever you decide, I hope things work out well for you. And congratulations on the new job!!!! At least that is one less stress that you have.
