An opportunity to move

I was presented with the possibility to move to a better place. Right now I am living in a single room in a building with a psychiatrist, nurse, and staff people on site.

The place I would have a roommate, and we would share an apartment with kitchen, bathroom and living room. The rent would be a lot more than now. Its a very nice building and in a fairly safe neighborhood but about an hour from where Im at now.

My mom said “Go for it” and my dad is also supportive. But my brother is not being supportive at all and he lives closest to me. I dont want to let my brother down and I trust him on certain things, but I also think he misunderstands me and stigmatizes me too much.

I want to be excited about the move but its hard without the support from my brother. I also am struggling to communicate to the staff about my move, and the process, plus the person who would coordinate my discharge is on vacation so I have next week to figure it all out. Im moving into TAP housing and I think it could really help because its a program that will get me to be more social and involved in clubhouse and community.

where I live now Im not motivated by anyone to do anything but sleep all day and wake up to take meds. I dont really like it here its depressing I feel like I got scammed. They only give me $15 a day as an allowance and they manage my money. Hope thats not TMI.

Change can be good and scary. I personally would feel more comfortable with a nurse and Psy Dr around but that’s just me. Roommate’s aren’t always peachy either.

I wish you good luck on where ever your journey takes you.

I’m not sure I’ll get the opportunity again. I’ll have to find a new psychiatrist and therapist. I dont even currently have a therapist anyways. So the main thing will be getting medication. I’m torn apart about it because moving is so stressful. But how things are here its really the depression is eating away at me.

I should know whats best for me. I did a walk through and spent 2 nights at the apartment and loved it and the roommate is super nice and similar to my age. Its almost too good to be true. I just have to wait for the intake person to get back from vacation, and ask her to write out my discharge and print it out. They say they’re holding the apartment for me. But I have until the 19th to move.
