I love my parents too much and have fear of losing them

My life took a downward curve after I changed my school while I was a teenager. Since then everything has been bad. My education deteriorated and I started to drink and smoke.

Through out my life i worked at 3 places for a month each… That’s 3 months of work ex. While working at my first job i got diagnosed with sz and since then life has been really bad.

I am 27 and without a job. I live with my parents and they love me a lot. I cannot live without them.

I know it’s selfish on my part but who will take care of me after they are gone. Where will i go.

I cannot hold on to s job because of anxiety and depression. I don’t know what will happen to me. My sister who got married lives in USA but I don’t know if she will allow me to live with her family.

I am feeling so lonely right now without a job and my business has not taken off and I have left hopes on it.

I don’t know if there can be a worse situation than this.

I am scared.

I’m in the same boat as you. If I didn’t have my parents there’s a lot of paperwork for my housing I couldn’t complete.

I am 34 and live with my mom and aunt. I worry about myself after they are gone too. I am on disability and it’s hardly enough to pay market rent. I don’t know how I will survive when they are gone.

Don’t wait until your parents are gone before you check out your options on what your going to do with your life- start looking around at what is out there.
The more you plan ahead, the less worry for you in addition to dealing with the grief.

My parents are very old and I also worry about my future.
We sort of planned out a lot for the future but I don’t know if I am able to live alone.

Reapplying for supportive housing with the organization that I belong to might be in my cards for the future.

If I were you I would plan for your future now.

You are right. May I know if you are you working?

No I am on disability but I worked at the same position for years in the past.

What are the disability options (if any) in your country? If you don’t know find out. If that’s not an option talk to your sister about how she feels about living with her family. Get it out of the way before you find out the hard way. And if the meds (if any) that you are taking have no effect at all seek another option there. Don’t expect perfection in that department. In fact you may have to live with the voices if you can’t find a drug that completely works. A lessened psychosis can’t hurt though. You have a computer. I suggest you use it.

There is not much of options for applying for disability. They won’t consider me as disabled. I will have to talk it out with my family.

Yes, talking with your family is important.
Good luck @EDM_Stan.

Feel the same way to some degree. I can work but I am miserable at work and stressed out. I work a job that isn’t stressful but hearing voices
makes it nearly unbearable.
