The point of life/living

I’d probably would be. I know some part of me wouldn’t like that, but I don’t think I really hate the notion when I think about it.

Takes a lot of pressure off and that way I can relax and ensure things are taken care of. But having to do it on my own I’d have to worry if things would work out all the time.

For most of my life my parents handled nearly everything, and when I tried to do things on my own they never really worked out. So why would I make my own decisions when it hasn’t worked out for me in the past?

Like…just thinking about “Adulting” is so overwhelming i don’t know what to do with myself. The way I see it if I move out I’d be alone and not really have much else besides whatever job I have. It would be worse.

I need a guarantee things will work.


Just spent the morning clearing the last apples and canning. Life is good. Do what you love with people. Don’t get too picky about the people unless they start to drain you. And, do healthy stuff. But, party sometimes. It’s complicated.

I love to make stews.

There is an endless variety of stews that can be easily made but result in really tasty dishes that you feel proud of having created. AND TASTE DELICIOUS!

I’m not really sure what I love anymore, every day it changes all the time, even the time of day it changes, nothing is ever consistent enough to act on.

It takes practice. Not everyone gets it right fresh out of the gate.

Very common among human beings.

I feel like I don’t have many chances left though, like I’m one step away from losing it all and utter disaster. Either that or languishing away at some dead end job.

Maybe you need help with independent living. Some mental health places have programs that help people learn independent living skills.

There was some around here that seem to do that. The place I was sent to originally was terrible and they service I was told about doesn’t work with them.

Always something. Did they not care or try or what? One also has to try too.

I tried. But the therapist I had left, and they haven’t put me with another one. The psychiatrist doesn’t return my calls. I’m on Medicaid so I’m limited in whom I’m allowed to see. The people who said they would refer me to someone else didn’t, and the alternatives people suggested to me never responded again.

I’m LITERALLY on my own on this one, every one who can help or said they would FAILED me.

I’m willing to work but apparently no one else is.

Keep on them. Continue to bug them until they do assign you to a new therapist. Pester the psychiatrist’s nurse and receptionist. Someone will eventually get things done for you, if just to get you to stop bugging them about it.

I guess so, but they tell me the same thing every time. I looked them up and their reviews are pretty bad with a lot of people saying how often they’re ignored.

Then I suggest finding someone else.

I’ve been working on that, not many take medicaid or live near the small town I’m in. I’m also trying to find work but that’s going slow.

I don’t suppose those would apply to Colorado would they?

The state so far hasn’t been very good to me when it comes to finding aid. I was already lied to by them about being committed.

Sorry, forgot the State. But, yes, of course, every state has these services. The state didn’t lie, some person did, and you can find someone to correct that.

I tried poking around but there don’t seem to be too many resources for recourse on what they did. The state website doesn’t have anything like that and the best I could find was contacting the folks who run the county I live in.

Have you tried Health and Human services in Colorado or the equivalent of that? I think this is it: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/
