I've had to buy everything that I usually take for granted: trash bins, shower curtains, beds, and less commonly for people for my income level, sofas.

yup, although I don't really have a couch. too expensive and cumbersome, though it's glaringly absent and sure would be nice to have one.

eventually you have most of what you need, but yeah, shopping for stuff is a semi-regular thing to do. (thankfully there is Amazon now and you don't have to go to a department store or something).

But in my carelessness and eagerness to sanitize the apartment, I used a cleaning spray that was a bit too harsh

shouldn't it have already been clean? otherwise, just another skill to build.

I realized that I took other people's company for granted, too. It's just me in this apartment. And aside from needing help getting everything set up, I'm feeling more lonely.

yes, thankfully there is internet and cellphones now

I think it's due to the stress of all the logistics of moving-in, which is hampered majorly by my obsession over what's clean, what isn't, how clean something is, what touched what, and other things that likely have no basis in reality.

it should be nearly spotless already, I would hope. (I lived in the dumpiest trailer in the world for a while, that was slowly being eaten by ants and had never-ending mice problems (worse than I can describe). compared to that, my current second-floor apartment is spectacular. the only cleaning I need to do is specifically cleaning after myself, which is great.)

your problems at work are not great. I don't have much advice there except to try to improve and don't let other people being jerks be an excuse for you to be a jerk. be professional in spite of their unprofessionalism.
