I'm tired and emotionally drained. I hate the environment that I live in and I feel I have no way of changing it at all. The traffic noise isn't as much of an issue but Houston's weather has been off and on with rain and thunder(I am sensitive to the noise of thunder and lightning) I hate living in an apartment around a bunch of other people and I feel like I have no one to talk to and all alone. Even though I have my social-group I feel they aren't providing what I am looking for, I went there to form friendships and try and increase my social network and support for myself and learn about friendship and relationships(romantic mostly but platonic still works), it seems like they are only about getting you to live independently(having a job, going to school, driving, getting your own place, etc). I say this because yes, I could get a job and move to my own place and possibly drive but at the cost of losing my only support network I have(my immediate family) and the facilitator I feel knew most what I was actually there for left so now I don't know what to do.
Sometimes I really just want to be done with this, stay in my room, and never leave... Therapists aren't accepting new patients cause of Covid and the fact that you can't really meet in person so I just feel I have no options as far as how to proceed in life. Speaking of Covid now the delta variant has got me more anxious than before since it is worse than the original and thanks to our governor some don't have to wear masks if they don't want to and don't have to be vaccinated to go to public places and at the beginning of this month I was told someone tested positive for Covid in the building that the social group takes place. I just feel I have no control over my life right now!
