Can you live independently?

Post Reply New Topic

I live independently. I rent a house, keep it clean, own a car, pay the bills, and hold down two jobs. I'm doing well.

Definitely not. I'm in solitary confinement in my own world, and I like it.
I would rather die in isolation rather than go outside to buy food, pay bills, etc. to interact with people.

I live alone in an apartment with my cat. I have trouble keeping up with chores and have a prompt book to help me, but my mom still comes by and cleans once a week. I always remember to pay my rent, and all my other bills come directly out of my bank account. My parents help me go grocery shopping and help me get out of the house. I don't work, I'm on disability, and sometimes my parents have to help me out with a little bit of money. I don't eat very healthy most of the time, but I get enough to eat. My cat is very well taken care of. I have a case worker who helps me keep track of my mood issues since I have alexithymia. I find it exhausting having to remember to do everything myself, but I like living alone much better than living with my parents. I wouldn't be able to do it without them, though.

I live idenpendently I own a house have a car ....I do get behind on cleaning and somethings. But my mom manages my money and I get my bills paid. Just feel alone sometimes. But I'm doing good.

Rent a house (would be cleaner if my partner wasn't so messy), pay the bills, keep myself clothed and fed, hold down a (low paid) job. I'm doing okay. It did come later to me than it probably does most people though. It wasn't easy when I left home at 18 for uni. I can't drive but I live in a European city, so it doesn't matter.

i dont think i would be able to, i cant get to school on my own and i have trouble finding a job since im awkward and unsanitary

I'm not all that thrilled to pay my mortgage every month, but other than that, everything works here.

One of the worst things about living alone would be dealing with the Medicare which constantly can be problematic.
Years ago my mother had me on her insurance and not anymore, We've told medicare numerous times yet there's such bad communication in that bureacracy that they forget to remove that insurance. Another insurance i never ever had.
Also there's spend downs, a lot of junk to remember.
If one has a case worker or social worker that is worth their salt it'd probably be most helpful.

Yes, I can live independently. I have lived on my own before in the past and made it through.

I can wake up on my own, cook for myself, clean after myself, pay the house bills, and any other life skill that I am failing to mention. All I have to do now is get a high-enough paying job and I would definitely be able to live 100% independently.

No because I get stressed out too easily and am too prone to meltdowns. I've had periods where I was completely independent and had no support but each time it led to a complete emotional breakdown. I've always needed supportive people in my life.

Yes! I like having control of my life goddamnit.

Nope, and I can't for a very long time.
Wanna know why? BECAUSE KIDS DON'T LIVE INDEPENDENTLY! And I'm a kid. True steel of logic. And making absolutely no point in posting. SUCCESSFAIL! Well, that was random.
