Sometimes I wish that I shouldn’t live alone.You have to take care of lot of things,and there’s not any interaction to distract you from your problems.Sometimes you need to talk with someone when you end up with problems in early hours.
Most of all,is when you are with people you tend to forget about your problems.But when you come to an empty house is just you and your evil spirits in night.Then you have to fight.

but you have to live with the right people.
My husband caused me a lot of stress and after 29 years he filed for divorce. I forgave him for so many things but our son is now grown and does not need an intact family which I fought for.
Now that he lives with his mother I feel marvelous. I was able to live alone for a year but now my 26 yo son moved in and we get along great. We each can help each other with little things.

But if there was someone with you when you ran out of house with knife,and I don’t really mean anything bad,think it would happen?That’s the thing I’m talking about.

I could do it and have done in the past. Saying that I don’t mind living and helping out my father. Still owe him a lot financially I’ll never be able to pay back so it’s a small sacrifice.
Either way. Whether you live with someone or not be structured in your life. I find keeping things regular really do help with sz. Take meds same time everyday. Sleep same time give or take. Try to do regular exercise and cleaning/eating etc.

Sorry for your loss @anon70049667. It can’t be easy without your mum. My mum is 76 and she won’t be around forever, I will be devastated when I loose her. We are also on the same frequency, we are one.

This therapist told me one time that just having someone there makes a big difference. Personally, I have my own room, and I have a high tolerance for solitude, but I do need some human interaction. After the weekend is over I’m ready to go back to the clubhouse. Is there any kind of a place for people in your situation to interact near where you live? You might want to check that out.

I’ve lived alone since my wife died in 2005. I agree it’s not always easy. Some of us cope better on that score than others . From 2005 -2017 I became increasingly more self neglectful , but I wasn’t a danger to myself or others so I went under the radar.
I’m independent but need quite a lot of support. I function better now that I have that support.

Problem is that I got thrown out from my mothers flat to live alone,and I gave brother my half in court.It was nice for a while to know someone’s around.
Often I feel like I should be monitored because you make a lot of mistakes when you have no one to watch after you and you have MI.I kept telling to a rest to my family that I shouldn’t live alone,but no one really cares.I often ask my father to stay at his place for a week,but he denies my illness and has no sympathy.
Sometimes I think if I have a stroke it would be a week till someone notices,cause no one is calling.
I’m sorry @anon70049667.

I’m not complaining that i’m finally left alone.Living on your own has it advantages.You can plan your day,wake up when you want,listen loud music,leave and come when you want and there’s no one you have to argue with.
It’s just when demon’s come you are the one who stays with them for five days.

Mostly I like living alone with my dog but on weekends when I don’t have my day program I get lonely. I used to live in a group home and really hated it cuz I had no say in who roomed with me. I agree that structure is important when living both alone AND with any mental illness. It keeps the chaos from creeping in.

Sorry for your loss zoa.
I don’t know how I could cope with such a loss.
Wishing you much 
love.
I am living with family now but am soon moving into a apartment by myself.
I will live there by myself and maybe adopt a dog.
There is only one man my heart has clicked with and I’ve had extatic lovemaking with.he was kinky but I’m ok with that as long as I can say no if I want to to some things.i was really Pi ssed off at him so I was not thinking about him but now I wonder if I would move to Sweden if he would marry me or live with me but he is a meat eater and drinks alcohol I think and I rather my partner be a sober vegan but he is the only one I have ever felt that way with n for but I did not even mention him on marriage thread I wrote but if I was to marry a man I know it would be him because I would not want to marry a friend just which my other boyfriends have been really as such.
Thankfully I will have family not too far away so I can probably go to them if I need help with anything.
I would live with someone again possibly.
Depends.
