I'm out off work with significant colonic disease. I had an endoscopy and they found problems in my stomach that explains why I keep vomiting every day.
I''m living at my mother's house, but she wants me out.
I phoned CAB and they said they can't help me unless my case is special regarding housing.
I visited CAB by appointment a few years ago about a different issue and tried to explain my issues. Afterwards, when I say bye and walked away, she called me a 'f**king idiot' under her breath. She didn't know I was undiagnosed.
It put me offf getting help.
My dream is to just live alone and have a garden, but that obviously isn't going to happen.
I wish I could find a way to do this.
I can't socialise and I can't take loud noises.
Hi, I am sorry you’re going through this.
Like Iain said, see if you can patch things up with your mum first. If not, then see if she will at least give you time and space to A, get your health in a better place and B, find yourself a place to live. What might benefit someone like you is assisted living. Have you heard of this? It’s where you’re on your own but there are people who can check up on you and talk to you if you want. My sister’s done this, she finds it helpful and supportive.
It's independent living but with assistance.
Talking to your GP regarding the above might be helpful for you. He/She can also start the ball rolling for an autism diagnosis, if that’s something you would be interested in, though the wait times generally are 3-5 years now...
This community is for diagnosed as well as people considering or pursuing diagnoses, with that in mind I would recommend you stay here for social contact and any support you need. I’ve not been here for a while but from what I can tell it’s still a supportive environment as ever.
Take care of yourself.
Kind regards, ???
