My family and I don't agree on support needs

Post Reply New Topic

I'm pretty sure that I dont need so much support. I think the reason for me not being independent is because people won't even let me try. I can't say that though. I think I need to just be myself. They're always worried about me making mistakes etc. I'm in my 20s.

They don't want me to try to get a job because they want me to take it easy. They think I should be on disability. I don't want to fully admit that I should. I think I'm capable of working someday. I just get anxiety and paranoia. I'm just upset that I'm just not having the independence I want. I literally want to be left alone. I want to go out, have friends, and not have to answer a ton of questions about everything. They annoy me. I don't want to have so much concern over me. I honestly wish they'd actually let me be an adult for once. I refuse to let them talk to my Dr now.

I just think i can do more. Yet I'm not really encouraged..I dislike that. They say it's because I have a developmental disability and mental illness that I'm not treated the same as my siblings. Honestly I don't see how I'm much different. I can be mature .I know things. I honestly sometimes lie about my whereabouts because I think I should be able to keep secrets.

My sister been helping me since our mom died many years ago, she don't understand me, she thinks she knows stuff about me that is not true, she has Bipolar.
