I have been living independently with severe negative symptoms for five long years. I am tired of this ■■■■. I am tired of having to drive to my parents house twice a week and spending time with them. I do this so they will keep assisting me financially. I just want to lie down all day, sick of the god dam ned adls. This burden is too much and i am tired of making it even more of a burden by trying to live independently. Just want to move to a place where i can lie down all day without being bothered.

In the group home I lived in they made u get up really early. I always wanted to sleep but they would wake me up. I was taking saphris in the morning, and it would put me to sleep, but they would wake me up. But I feel u man. Sometimes i’d like to live with people so I don’t get so bored all the time! But the place has to be just right.

Wtf, i dont want to be woken up early. Ideally i would like just to lay in bed all day. My anhedonia is so severe that i cannot tollerate life. I would just like to lie in bed all day like ppl with severe clinical depression. I already spend majority of time lying in bed, but i am tired of doing day to day adls type stuff. Life goes by easier if i have no responsiblities.

I worked in a group home for a while, and we would never let a resident just lie in bed all day. They had therapies to attend, chores to do, and outings to go on. And they always had to keep a regular sleep schedule. If they had a night of rough sleep, we would still wake them up at 7:00 so they would be able to sleep the next night.
Smh, f this life, god is torturing me. Where do bedridden depressed ppl live. They harass u to do stuff but ppl woth very severe anhedonia hate doing anything
The point of assisted living is to help you do things you wouldn’t be able to do on your own. They want to help you get better, not stand by and watch you fade away.

If you were financially independent, you could do anything you wanted to, all day long. The trick is being financially independent.
You need money to do what you want, but you have to give up something, time, effort etc. to get money.
No one I know is going to pay someone to lay in bed all day.
It’s a catch-22.
I get $750 a month, i just dont handle the money due to alcohol and caffeine addiction. I am gonna do a dual diagnosis therapy as soon as i get rid of these bedbugs
