I live in San Antonio with my parents. I was planning to move to Austin by myself to go to UT in January. I scared myself from actually getting an apartment there. What if I can't keep up payments? What if I get robbed or mugged? I'm many miles from home. What if what if? I've decided to stay in SA for another year in my own apartment and continue to go to the same school I've been going to. I have a potential relationship in Austin with a man I have absolutely everything in common and I don't want to lose my chance with that. How can I stop being so scared about being so far away from my family?

Well, have you been afraid of things your entire life? Maybe you need to see a doctor about anxiety. As an OCD sufferer, I know how you feel about the whole "what if" thing. I'm constantly asking myself, "What if...?" and worrying about everything. So, maybe you just need to either talk to someone about it all, or see a doctor about anxiety or OCD or something like that... only if you've always worried about things of course. If you don't worry about things big and small on a daily basis, I would say just try to stay calm and do what you think is best. It's normal to be nervous about this sorta thing.

It's perfectly natural to be apprehensive about it--it's a big step! It will sound cliche, but in my experience going for it is the only way to get over the fear. You are in no more danger of being mugged due to distance from your parents. Learning to stand on your own two feet (rent payment and all) is both terrifying and exhilarating. Good luck! You're going to be fine.

the only way to get over it is to do it if you stopped yourself from doing anything cause you were scared you wouldn't do anything just go
