I just asked because your comments seem a bit flippant to me but it may just be a cultural thing

You said a bicycle can replace a house and a car?

I just went through the hassle of getting my psychiatrist to sign my waiver for to finally get a learner’s permit to drive so I should have said that and not talked about the bicycle I never meant to come off as if I don’t think it’s a serious impediment

I just love my bicycle and probably would love my car even more if i could drive…lord only knows what i would think of my house if i had one lol.

That must be nice to have something of your own like that I live with my parents right now so it can be a little bit challenging psychologically to not have privacy or autonomy. Im hoping to move out soon but its an uphill battle.

I left home in 1995 ish and lived in hostels and shared housing as a teenager and early twentys got private flats, it was my mental illness that was and still is my greatest life problem its followedme around. I found my husband aged 18, things were rocky to begin with but he has always looked out for me and now he does a lot to make my life easier so i can’t complain about that. This mh issues tend to follow and bring up challenges wherever you live or work or whatever you do

Yes for a few months at a time in my twentys but couldn’t keep them
I struggled like hell with anxiety, voices, paranoia, getting bullied by coworkers, hubby chronic gambling and verbally abusive. I ran away about six times and then eventually came under the attention of doctors and mh services
Hubby is supportive now and i was in hospital a lot for instability in my thirties. Im now in forties still hard but i couldn’t work im proper messed up really
