I Need Someone to Talk to Right Now
Is there ANYBODY out there with experience in leaving on a Greyhound with virtually nothing you previously owned? I really need advice.

You are young and can probably survive a lot of stuff, and maybe this move is going to be OK. Maybe.
But...I am reading a LOT of danger signals here. First, it is always a mistake, and sometimes a very serious one, to be rushed into any major decision or any relationship. If you are having hesitations and she is rushing you through the decision making process--don't do it. Someone rushing you into a decision is usually doing so to keep you from considering it carefully and clearly; this person feels it is better to get you to do it before you think about it enough to realize it's really not such a good thing for you.
Second, you mentioned that she offered to help you go back for your things but did not follow through on it. You now know she is not entirely reliable. And I don't think you would worry about enough to post on it if somewhere in your mind you were not having second thoughts.
Please do not allow yourself to be rushed into anything.

@greenmountaingal Thank you for responding, I feel like you get it. I told her that I was going to quit my job, and I don't know if you're into astrology, but Mercury is in Rx and over the past couple of years when I've tried to move away or quit a job, something catastrophic always happened. One time the apartment I was going to move into was actually sold to another company and I got swindled out of 1,000. I couldn't find a job for weeks. Another time I was traveling, trying to look at apartments in Chicago and they kept cancelling at the last minute. Bad luck ensues when Mercury is in retrograde when it comes to traveling, work, or communication. No permanent, fast decisions can be made, even though I got kicked out. I'm trying to wait until after next Monday when it ends, but my co-worker thinks I'm being superstitious or something and is trying to get me to quit my job ASAP. Again- TRYING to handle it all on my own. I know I've left town before, but I never had such a small prep time without my laptop or necessities.

Whether it's the planets or just good common sense not to rush into something basically uncertain, you have a feeling of hesitation here. It's generally a good idea to heed your own instincts in this regard.
While you're waiting to get your stuff and figure it all out, you can read this book which is a riveting read and is all about why we need to follow our own instincts at times like this:
