I need instructions what to do

Does anyone else feel they need someone to give them instructions on what to do in life, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do in social situations or if someone needs help, I also find making decisions difficult.  I’ve never lived alone as I went from living at home where my Mum made all the decisions, to getting married where I’m quite happy for my Husband to look after things.  I have no idea how I’d cope on my own and it scares me.  I still feel childlike in many ways, wanting to be looked after and taught what to do.  At the grand old age of 73 I’ve only just been diagnosed which has come as a big relief to explain why I’ve always felt different.

  • Hi and welcome to the community. I'm in my sixties and have also never lived alone, although me and my husband have made joint decisions during our life together, but I understand how you feel about worrying how you'd cope on your own.

    This community is a comfort though as it makes us all feel a bit less different and allows us to be understood and feel valued. I hope you enjoy chatting with us.
