Answers:
It is so hard for people (me included) to make changes in life. When you deal with mental health issues, there is much to be said about routine. Routines help us maintain. But, it is obvious to me that you are feeling like now is the time to make a change to your routine. You are the only one that can possibly know if you are ready or not. Your Mum has become dependent on your routine as well, so it is hard for her to picture you far away if in fact, you do have a crisis.
If you really think you are ready....start thinking about where it is you want to move to. Look at what things you can fall back on in time of crisis there. Plan ahead....be prepared for anything..anf before you know it, you will have created a whole new routine of your own and you will be successful at it. I wish you much luck.

uh move ur 29 move

Well your 29... I would think that your mother would be more supportive. Maybe you could try a "Half way house" or get an apartment in a facility that is designed for people with disibilities. Your mum isn't goingt to be around forever. You should try to be on your own (before you cannot be dependent upon her). Good luck! Sounds like you have the incentive. Sure it's a little scary but what isn't? Is it more scary for you or mum? Make your decisions on paper and approach her in the most adult fashion you can, show her your plans and follow through!

Depression has a lot to do with old patterns Try to go on trips to visit new friends. You need to break away from the mental health people to get strong again. How many years have you been on meds. Is it making things better or just putting you on hold?

Talk to whatever services you're using about possible housing for people like you. You might even qualify for free or reduced-cost housing. If you're 29, your mom can't legally keep you at home, mental health issues or not.
