So many questions for ch. 7

Hi all,

I began the process of chapter 7 bankruptcy about 2 months ago. I still have to get documents to the attorney, and I'm struggling a little bit because I had a seizure out of nowhere and a whole bunch of other medical stuff popped up along with a breakup and now moving states.

Is it still a good idea to file for chapter 7 when I'm going to need to get my own apartment in the near future? I know that some apartments will check your credit score, and I'm terrified that I won't qualify for any.

I also am in the process of moving states from MI to IL, with my parents, and then in a couple more months, I will be moving to WI. I had moved from WI to MI to follow my partner. Now that we're broken up, I'm moving back home. currently in Illinois with my parents, I can't drive for 6 months because of the seizure, so I won't be moving to Wisconsin until after I can drive. I started this bankruptcy in one state and I will have to finish it in another. Is that allowed? Also, since currently I'm staying with my parents, I don't have rent or electricity bills or Internet so I don't know if I still qualify.

I'm 28, I have about 25k in debt. I think if I don't file, it's going to be hard for me to afford rent by myself. I just don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
