I’d like to know what disables you from living independently. Cognitive problems, avolition or impulsive spending or what? I’m wondering if this is my future down the road.

Avolition and anhedonia. These two dark horses are trampling me like I was a piece of rag.

Im going to make the plunge this year.
Im going to get a garden flat, i dont seem to trust blocks with flats in them. I would be convinced of too much conspiring and plotting.
I want to try find a small one bedroom where maintainance is minimal and just breeze in.

I think I am stuck in my assisted living quarters by the law. I’d like to leave, but a number of people won’t let me. My brother, who is my legal guardian, is very reluctant to let me leave. So is my caseworker.

Why is this surprising to you @Esm ?
I was very functional before sz, now a shell of my former self.
I live with my parents, and they are getting old…
I thought u still did some programming. Also the thread wasnt for ppl living with parents, i was more surprised cuz i thought u were in group home or assisted living.
Well, if they don’t find a remedy for this illness before my folks pass, maybe I will end up in somebody else’s care. Or on the streets. I can’t program anymore, I have th skills but not the motivation. It’s kinda lame.
So how about you? What’s your social status?
Both my parents are very old.
Going to move into a Supportive Group Home Environment later this month.
I’m kind of looking forward to it.

I have govt. assisted apartment. I am still dependent on mom collecting check for me cuz i blow too much on alcohol and energy drinks and crap food when i drink. I have been going to some Alcoholics anonymous meetings but i never met criteria for alcoholic, i’m just an alcohol abuser. I am gonna start a dual diagnosis program soon.
I have been living in isolation for 5 years, a part of me is so crazy it likes it that way. If i could get a handle on my drinking i could live fully independent. Thx to my parents i have car tho.
