I was talking to my mom and she said because she’s getting older and tired, she can’t afford to look after me whenever I relapse. She went on to say that I should stay home instead of work or school. I could do these things from home if I wanted to but that there’s no pressure.
I’m also looking at the possibility of being partially home-bound for the rest of my life and I’ve accepted it. I’ve also accepted that I don’t see a partner for myself in the future and that I’ll probably end up in a home when I have no more family left to take care of me.
I definitely want more for myself and will work hard towards recovery because I am still young. But it’s okay if things don’t go 100% according to plan.
Maybe if you have siblings they could house you, or help you in the future.
Kudos to you for staying out of the hospital for over a year.
I empathize. My mother isn’t getting any younger, and I’m nearing 40. I think what I’m trying to say is that I’m also going to have to make some similar decisions in my future.
Whatever decisions you reach about your future care I hope you’re happy and at peace.
Both my parent are very old and my brother is too busy with his life.
I don’t know what will happen to me in the future.
I belong to a MI Charity Organization that provides supportive housing, so this could be in my cards.
I’m already using their case management program.
Hold on to hope @MissJennyJen.
Good things could happen in the future.
