Kicked out

nem

My parents said I have to do these things or else I get kicked out

“Share the dates of your appointments” [psychiatry/ mental health appointments]
“Attend all appointments”


I can’t have sex at home
Maybe I would be happier

Everyone says social housing is bad and horrible environment
My family home seems to be having a negative effect on my mental health
At least right now for the moment
My mum used to be chill to pick me up from the bus every night now she doesn’t want to
I live in the middle of nowhere
Don’t drive

Acne low key gives me depression

Hey @nem this sounds like a lot to be dealing with - how are you getting on?

I hear your parents have made some rules for you that they expect you to follow otherwise they'll kick you out. That sounds worrying nem and like you might have the rules constantly on your mind to make sure you don't go against any.

I also hear that your mum used to pick you up from the bus but she doesn't anymore and this sounds like an even difficult situation considering you live in the middle of nowhere and can't drive. I'm wondering what your thoughts are around leaving your living situation and if you've looked into housing options which might be available to you? Do you have somewhere you could go if your parents did make you leave home?

I've also popped a few signposts down below you might find useful that help with this kind of thing:
