don't think I can live independently,unsure what options are

Post Reply New Topic

So we've talked on this site about bADLs and iADLs.
I struggle with multiple iADLs.

What does this mean for my future? For now I live with my mom, but what happens once she can't provide anymore and I need to step up and take that role? I'm scared tbh.

Gonna talk to my therapist about it, we have a session in the mornng.

Any advice?

I hope you got some answers from the session. If it were me, I'd take a look at the lists of things that I couldn't do, or just struggled with, and pick one to focus on improving. Ideally something that you could learn to do with either an electronic assistant or just by learning how to do it. And just go at them one by one for as many of them as possible.

You'll probably always need some level of support if you're asking that question at your age, but the more of the stuff you can learn to do, deligate to technology or just not bother with, the less of a problem it will be to live independently.

Try creating an environment that will ease your transition once you living independently.

How about this: try living your life right now AS IF you are living completely independently. Try entering that state of mind, and gradually you will be living independently comfortably in no time as you are guided by that state of mind.
