Hello all,
I’m new here but I’m after some advice.
I have been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome since I was 11, I’m now 19 years old.. I struggle with depression and anxiety and I’m known to drink quite severely at times.
Through most of my childhood I received support directly from my mum and dad, however with my dads recent passing and my mum struggling herself I am now in a situation of which feels like no repair.
I went to the university of coventry for a year but with my decreasing mental health never attended my lessons, resulting in failing my first year and not even attempting to apply for my second. However I found the freedom of living alone gave me a good kick to become independent.
So upon my return from Coventry I got myself a council flat but based on my location the best place they could give me was 10 miles away from all my family and friends, I rely on my family and friends to help me through a lot of my mental disabilities and have struggled to keep these relationships as the cost for fuel and actually seeing them has not helped quite a large sum of debt I have obtained in the last few years.
I would like to move closer but I cannot find a way to do this, as of recently I’ve got myself into a few bad situations which could have cost me my life but I just don’t know where to turn anymore. For anyone wondering I have received counselling and they struggled to understand my mental disabilities and I take medication but I see no increase in my situation.
I just don’t know where to turn anymore and things are never getting cheaper, where can I reach for support, what are my options?
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this and I honestly cannot thank anyone enough who supplies ideas. I struggle quite badly with phone calls so can’t call anyone for help.
