In the future I will be living by myself.
Right now I’m living with my elderly father.
Honestly I don’t know how I’ll manage living by myself as I don’t have a large support system in place.
I’ve come to the realization I can’t rely solely on my brother.
He’s got a lot of his own issues to deal with
I live with my wife and our 2 teenage children. Im currently surrounded by her family. About a dozen souls in here. Im sitting alone - feel very alone. Full room, but feel alone.
I live alone
I live on my own.
How do you manage @Mars?
Are you self sufficient?
I’m going to need some help going places like doctors appointments or to the vets office as I have agoraphobia
I live by myself.
My parents help clean and drive me places. I keep it mostly clean on my own.
I have lived alone for nearly 10 years
Maybe took 6 months to get used to it
I live with my husband and 10 year old daughter. My husband is my strength and support and I don’t know how I would manage without him.
I live with my Mom
I would ask for help especially from your brother, don’t feel ashamed as it sounds like you have nobody else. Either that or try to feel brave and take a cab to your appointments and stay online so that the forum users can make you feel better
I’m fortunate. I can manage on my own, but I don’t have agoraphobia.
If your brother is anything like mine, you certainly can’t solely rely on him.
I’d start now in reducing your reliance on him.
Find a social worker/nurse/case manager/whatever professional you can to start helping you now.
Don’t leave having a backup to your brother until the last minute. Sort it out now.
I’m going to rely on my current case manager (counselor) more often and in the future.
Thanks @everhopeful
I’ve lived alone since my wife died in 2005. 2005-2017 I lived in Essex, and was increasingly self neglectful. 2017my daughter finally persuaded me to move near her. Here in Wiltshire I get quite a lot of support from my daughter, and granddaughters .My daughter is officially recognised as a carer,by Social services.
You won’t be living completely alone. You have two lovely pets. Pets have a way of getting you out of bed and do things for and with them. You could also take trips to the library by yourself and browse books that you find interesting. You can also find local hobby groups to join.
I live with my grandma.
I live with my wife. I have lived with parents, alone and with roommates at various times in my life.
I live alone but have my cats….
Cats are good people
I live alone but want to move in wid bf asap
I’m a lone wolf
