I love the car. But it’s all on my parents money. I feel like they’re going to view me as even more of a deadbeat now since I can’t make the payments at the moment. I’m such a leech.

Some wheels helps you get around and even if you didn’t contribute if you can’t work then no use complaining! A ride is a ride…enjoy. May even lead to better outcomes in the future.

I know I’m really happy with the wheels… I just feel bad for costing my family ya know? I just wish I knew how to repay them even if it was something that didn’t involve money to thank them though… Cause I just feel bad that they’re doing so much for me and I feel like I can’t really show my gratitude…

Chances are you’ll have plenty of time to pay back or forward however it works.
Your young. You just never know the future and I’m sure you’ll get to a place where you can do something worthwhile.

Yes it’ll definitely do that. The car is actually too nice I feel. I feel like I don’t deserve it.
I don’t know your past, but everybody with sz is a fighter and deserve a lot. Fighting with yourself everyday is the most thought experience which Normie’s could never understand. I’m sure you deserve it, you’re a fighter

I bet there are benefits in it for them, too - knowing that you can get yourself around without needing assistance from them is probably pretty important to them.
Congratulations. Enjoy it and treat it well.

There are. This way I actually have my own transportation to see my psych who is 40 miles away from me. Instead of sharing my mom’s car. Which was definitely a hassle and a pain
It’s just damn why do cars gotta be so expensive??
Like I said I’m immensely grateful to them… I’m just hoping we didn’t slit our throats. Money is tight and now it’s going to be even tighter. And I have no way of alleviating that stress. And it’s all my fault I feel.
Like I’m happy but I’m worried about next month tbh…

You are young so you have plenty of time to pay back to your parents @Noise Enjoy and try your best to get recovered from your illness.

I’m certain they were glad to help you guys after all you are their baby. So please enjoy it and while I don’t know your parents I don’t think they went into this with the idea of wanting something huge in return. Buy them some top of the line ramen or do some small favors here and there.

@rogueone is right. You’ll most likely have opportunities to help them some time in the future. My family did everything in their power to help me and support me when I became schizophrenic. They did it by by visiting me in the hospital, driving ten miles every Tuesday night for family group therapy, and just visiting me just to talk and cheer me up etc.
They also invited me to so many fun things and included me in almost every family function and also took me out when they went out with their friends and husbands to movies and even camping and water skiing including inviting me out to restaurants a million times and treating me.
I never had much money during most of my illness but they weren’t going to let that stop them from having a good time with them. They weren’t going to leave me out because I didn’t have money.
Eventually I started doing little things to help them out. They didn’t expect me to pay them back for all the help they gave me but I did what I could for them because I was grateful and it made feel good and useful to do them favors.
So I started doing yard work at their houses. I did a lot of yard work jobs all through childhood and high school and I was very good at it.
So yeah, I went over their houses and spent a few hours at a time mowing lawns, weeding, trimming bushes, ripping out bushes, painting, cleaning rain gutters, raking, sweeping, digging etc.
When my sisters moved into new houses or apartments I was there to lend a helping hand, even driving the moving van.
They travel frequently and I used to give my sisters rides to the airport and I used to drive my dad too. And then three days or a week later I would pick them back up. I house sat a lot. While they were on some trip I would stay at their houses and walk and feed tneir pets, water plants, get the mail etc.
Several years ago my sister started her own business. It involved a lot of driving and moving furniture. She asked me to drive the moving van which I had loaded and then go to houses and unload it. I would go to U-Haul myself and rent the van and buy moving boxes. Anyways I helped her out a lot with her business for a few months. I’ve done other things too when I could for them.
