I live alone in a house but I was at my best and most happier when I was in supported housing. There I had my own flat and they had daytime staff inside the building during the day to check on you and downstairs in the communal area anytime you needed them.

Also got to know and made friends with the other people who lived there. I was really happy there. Living independently now for me is very very hard. I’ve been at it 18 months now.

I have been living alone now for about 18 months. It’s hard to keep on top of everything

It is hard. Do you have support from family or friends ?

From family luckily. I lost all my friends. What about you do you have any support from friends/family?

My mum as the rest of my family live a couple of hours away. Apart from that I have the mental health team. I lost contact with friends too. But I am attending groups and voluntary work.

That’s good about the voluntary work. It’s good to have distractions. Do your family visit you often? I nearly moved out of my home town but I couldn’t afford to live anywhere else as it’s much cheaper where I am.

Living with parents on a disability pension. It helps to split the bills three ways and we lead a decent lifestyle. I owe my parents a lot financially and it helps them out that that is the right thing to do. It’s a small house but the cat and I live a rich and realized life!

I spend weekends at my mums house but only get to see the rest of my family on special occasions like Christmas or if we can go over. When I am driving myself soon I will visit them more often as I have the time because I am not working.

I love with my husband and kid in our own apartment. I want sure where I fit in, so I chose 2.

I live at home with my parents I wish I was a better kid though.

I live alone in a housing association flat . I get a lot of support from my stepdaughter and granddaughters though. When I didn’t have that support I lived in a mess.

I live with my family. :slight_smile:

I live in a rental home with my wife. We own a house in Texas we rent out but haven’t bought another one yet.

I live with my parents

I lived alone for a while but I hated it, now I’m back at home with my parents.

Well I need to do laundry, there are dishes in the sink, and I should probably vacuum.

I live with my folks now

I live with my parents. I lived in a group home for a while but couldn’t stand it so moved back with my parents
