My Mom went to Texas for 3 days to visit my sister. I stayed home and by the third day I was really really sick and psychotic basically. I don’t know what I’m going to do in the future I will need roommate that is home often and spends time with me
Don’t expect to be sick for your whole life. There are ways you can get better
I think this is as good as I’m gonna get
The first six months I lived alone I got hospitalised a lot. Can’t remember exactly how many times
But I got used to it after a while
Now I wouldn’t have it any other way
I always feel like that.. I say to myself is this the best im ever gonna get? It really bums me out cause in 2011 my old psychiatrist had me feeling reeeeaaaallly good
Really?
This is hopeful news @Joker @Rainstorm
I’m going to live alone very soon and I’m terrified
I’m glad that there’s a way to get used to being alone!
It took me ten years till now.I feel comfortable living alone …
I have my pigeons now ..
There is big difference between living alone and having no one..
I understand. I lived alone long ago but I don’t think I can do it now. If something happens to my husband I’m considering living in a group home.
I live half my life staring at action figures and art listening to music of my choice, loud or soft…usually loud. the other half is with my wife on separate small installments of affection. If my wife goes before me, I won’t be alone very long. I’m going to look into my church if I need a wife. I don’t mean that in a covetous way either.
I have lived alone these last 20 years. I wouldn’t know how to share a house anymore.
I learned how to do better with isolation during lockdown
well darn @Jimbob your name reminds me of my ex brother in law that I still speak to…even though I don’t talk to my other sister when we used to be so close…she’s a trumpster…can’t swallow her behavior about ICE agents.
I am same here to @Jimbob
This is just over 10 years for me
This is the way 99 % of mental ill’s feel about being alone. So the all have a network.
I was forced to be alone because my family and friends turn away from me. The authorities tried to break me by taking away all public help because I on that point was what you consider wealthy. My case manager got jalux because of my wealth and took away all public assitance. So I turned to online gambling and now today I’m poor and in deep debt. But the past ten years Ive learned to survive on my own like Robinson Cruso. I”ve still got my pride.
Sorry to hear that @Rainstorm
Whenever my grandpa passes, I’m gonna live in his house while we sort through all of his stuff. I’ll be by myself, other than when my folks drive 2 hours to visit. I’m about 50/50 on whether or not I can do it..
