Is bankruptcy an option?

New hope of finally finding friends in real life – I'm going to try to join my local snooker club tomorrow.

0 Nervousness and excitement cancelling each other out. I've had it with reaching standstill after standstill after standstill, and I've decided that if I don't hear anything back from the program I've applied for, I'm going to have a go at it myself and get my own apartment after the new year. That seems to be the only way I'll actually make any progress, is to just jump into the deep end. I'm equally nervous and excited about it, balancing out to about neutral.

-7 My mom just told me that SSI won't be near enough to cover rent for an apartment around here, so even if I were to get my own place, I'd still need to leech off of my parents in order to get by.

there's subsidized housing, where the government makes up the difference between the third of your income that it's reasonable to spend on rent and the market value. around here, subsidized housing is administered by the housing authority. we have a waiting list of a couple of years unless it's an emergency. you could start that process.

I suppose I could, but it would be really hard to wait for several years. My parents said they were expecting to support me monetarily and certainly have the means to, so I'll have to decide if I want to go with that or if I want to wait until I'm capable of working (assuming that ever happens) and just keep living with my parents and paying them rent once I can afford it. I already feel kind of like I don't really need SSI because my parents are willing to pay for stuff for me, I think I'd feel like I don't actually need subsidized housing so long as I have another choice. I'm kind of warming up to the idea of my parents helping me out financially until I can support myself (again, assuming that ever happens), it just wasn't what I was expecting to happen. I've still got a while to decide what to do.

Make that Friday or Saturday. Need to get my mum's event (tomorrow) out of the way and keep memorising the rules of snooker.

Right now, I'd say... 1. Just above neutral :thumleft:

then you might have to move again when your parents die unless they plan to leave you a large sum.

I feel amazed that the heart, regardless of how many times it is broken, keeps right on beating. I wish strength to all who are struggling, I hope tomorrow will bring inner peace and moments of joy.

That hopefully won't happen for a long time yet (they're in their sixties). Hopefully by that point I will be able to have a job I can support myself on. Of course, that's also the point at which I've told myself that if I'm still (or again) suicidal, I can go ahead and kill myself, in which case it won't be an issue. Otherwise, I don't know what's going to happen to me then.
