I’m going to be moving this month. It’s not far and I’ll be rejoining a residential program that I was in a few years back. I feel the need for more structure, more human contact, and more support. It’s not exactly a group home but not independent living.
For a while now, I’ve been slacking, just going with the flow. I feel the need to refocus and get a grip on my life. I think this move will be a good step in that direction. Tonight I’m starting to clean up and pack up some of my things.
I like living on my own, I enjoy the absolute freedom to do anything I wish but that freedom is a difficult thing to control. It’s easy to slack off, letting days and weeks pass without much to show for it. I hope that a more structured schedule will help me concentrate on my projects and basically get my ■■■■ together.
I’m in an assisted living center for the mentally ill. That’s pretty much a group home. I sometimes want to move into public housing where all my time will be my own. However, I pretty much realize I need the structure and human interaction here. I can go pretty far isolating, and it can take me to some bad places. Maybe in time I’ll be stable enough to live in public housing, but probably not now.
