I live with my hubby, too. He doesn’t take care of me, we take care of each other. I’m pretty independent so I will be very sad, but I can get along.

Does she know you’re sick?

I’m sorry @Wantsome480 . I know that hurts deeply

She’s always been jealous of me because I was the youngest. I was my grandmothers favorite. She gave me $2000 as a graduation present and only gave her kids $100 each. Every year she took me to Florida and not her kids. Her ex husband was rich and spoiled her kids. My aunts husband paid for my cousins masters degree in computer science. I had the luxury of growing up in a trailer park dirt poor because my dad shot himself.

Sorry about that @Wantsome480. All the same, your aunt shouldn’t be mean to you because you are sick. She should have a little compassion.

I only have mum. She does most of everything. I really don’t know how I’m going to survive.

I get some assistance from my parents, but honestly I feel I have a chance to make it on my own.

I live with my parents but I think I can live alone with some help from my brother. Online shopping is a godsend as I can’t get out of the house due to severe negative symptoms.

I can cook simple stuff and order from UberEats. My meds are delivered to my door for free.

That’s great @Chess24

Me neither. I’m trying to plan ahead.

What things you can’t do to be able to live independently?

36

I can’t leave my house alone because I’m too scared. And I’m afraid I’ll be lonely on my own and it’ll make me suicidal

You don’t need to, you can do everything online. Antidepressants will prevent you from being suicidal if that happens.

If something were to happen to my provider I would go to another home. If there isn’t one that will take someone on air, then it’s the nursing home for me. :disappointed_relieved:
