Mental health is an excuse

For not living a life. I would think, I am too depressed for that relationship. That job is too stressful. Now Ivan in a board and care. I have an opportunity to buy a condo and live in my own. But I am too lazy and afraid to take it. My family says that I have to get stronger before I move out of here. They think I need more therapy. I have had therapy my whole life. It only served to make me dependent and different from other people. I had opportunities to have a family too, but I didn't take 5hem. My life has no point. I wish I were dead.

Everyone is unique. Please see the links, to the right? Please don't do anything silly.

It can be an excuse yet but it is also extremely difficult to have a normal life when you suffer from mental health problems so don't beat yourself up over it. Of course you are afraid to live on your own after being with your family for so long, but can you buy a condo very near them so you would still have some support? Could another relative or friend move in with you at least for a while? That way you would have the best of both worlds. x

Thank you for your reply. The condo is in another state. Everything near my parents is superexpensive.

Hey, I ruminate about the past also- but when I am busier I can refocus at least part of the time. Try to take small steps and especially if you are on the younger side- well you have the rest of your life.
