The older I get the more difficult my parents got.
I had to move out.
Im still in the basement. I could move out anytime, but Ive got it so good here it would just be other peoples opinions of the mid thirties man living with his parents that would make me move.
I live in my parents basement and I am 43. I don’t care. I have it better here than if I moved out.
42 and a half here myself… always great to meet a contemporary ! Not down on basements we just don’t have a bathroom there, or one of those nifty stair/underground/door thingamabobs.
My parents rented out the basement before I was born so it has been renovated since the 70’s to live in. It has a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and 2 living rooms, plus the laundry room.
Why move out, impress friends, I don’t have any. Impress women, they lose interest when I tell them I have schizophrenia.
I am quite comfortable here.
I live in the basement I love it. Me and my kitty cat. No Shame. No complaints
I have the whole upstairs…I am basically my mom’s caretaker when my dad isn’t able to be around or on business trips. It isn’t the best but isnt the worst. I order groceries for the house and stuff when she isnt able to drive or work. I am working on buying my first car even though my dad is discouraging it. Now that I have a job Im going to make sure I get reliable transportation. I am kinda mad actually he’s going to be on a business trip when I start out and if I dont get there I will be put on the no-hire list for six months. So when I get my refund check Im going to get a car I dont care how cheap. Im done being without a car and if he doesnt get this I will tell him exactly why its an issue.
No you’re on to something it’s a quite serious subject that deals in finance and family.
@Wave I should apologize in advance… humor is not my strong suit and this is probably painful or tone deaf to have ambushed your feed with tonite.
NJ strong, still?
It’s Friday and the weather is finally cooperating : ). Again all my life is FAR from perfect…
I still live with my parents, I am 31, I have it better here than if I lived alone monetary but I have to endure them and listen to them sometimes. Its not a big deal as I will be alone if I live on my own, maybe I will get depressed then. I am only on Risperdal for sz now, no other meds or illnesses.
I’m without transportation right now. They let me borrow the car today though. I was very anxious to drive. I took it to my aprn. It wasn’t the greatest to drive for me. I have a ton of anxiety. But it was nice to get around by myself even if for 45 mins I was out. I hope you get a sick car gab b!! You’ll love it. I loved my first car I bought myself. Ever since I’ve been psychotic and my parents support me and my dad gets an extra car I can use sometimes but nothing was like my first car a Mazda 3 I bought myself when I was 17. I loved that thing.
How are your negatives?
Did you ever try the Vraylar…
… both that and abilify didn’t work so good for me…
and Risperdal gave me the sexual side effect. I’m on Haldol and have been happiest with that since 2012(my psychosis).
Lol same but I don’t mind my parents. They’re some of my best friends. We’re the same situation. 31 and live with parents. It’s better financially so I dropped 1/3rd of my bank account today on presents for my mom and dad’s birthday. I don’t get charged rent so I felt it’s the least I can do. My mom is Italian so they say Italians let their sons stay at home till a late age. Then I don’t feel quite as bad.
But often feel guilty about money. Sz isn’t easy tho. I imagined when I die if god talked to me one of the first things he’d say is “you did your best”. And that helps me be ok with myself. Just a thought/ fantasy I had today.
But no I’m not thinking about death just came to realization that maybe god is nice guy after all. Maybe my higher power is doing its best too. I said.
Vraylar is still not available here in Canada. I am asking my Dr about Geodon soon but I dont think it will be as good as Abilify for negative symptoms.
I don’t live in the basement, but I have mostly lived with my parents(besides a brief stint in one of my brother in laws houses) since getting diagnosed with sz in my early 40’s.
The place I’m living now is the first time in my life that I haven’t been in a basement suite. Love love love the sunshine!!
When I was 18 my mindstate was so innocent I could never imagine the future. Let alone thinking about the future no. I don’t know if I imagined me living in my parents basement at 31. But I definitely didn’t project myself with a job, wife, kids, house, etc. I never thought about that stuff.
It’s like my mind state was nirvana. But then I got corrupted. Because I guess you can’t stay a kid forever. I really wanted to grow up when I turned 19. I still didn’t project future but I started thinking different. Now I wish I could think like a kids mind again!!!
I used to live on my mom’s farm but my step brother was a terrible teen that picked on me so I left…best thing really…now I live on my own but still get help from my mom.
