Near impossible relaxation, frustration and anxiety because of it

CaliforniaDreamer95

I currently live with my parents. As many of you possibly know, living in a crowded house with adults can sometimes cause tension. Because of my personal current financial situation (I am currently rigorously trying to gain employment), it is impossible for me to even escape my own home town to be by myself even for just a few hours.

When I was diagnosed with Autism, the psychiatrist I saw told me to find a quiet spot when I feel anxious. Finding a quiet spot in my house is virtually impossible, my parents would probe me as to whether there is something wrong. I love both of my parents dearly, and I am grateful for all they have done for me. Normally, I don't mind being an ear to bend to their problems, even if they have a bad day, as we all have them from time to time. However, listening to their problems day after day after day, just makes me frustrated and I crave independence and a place of my own even more. 

Has anyone else felt like this?

  • I did but not until after I left home, my mum is/was always a real fuss pot, I find it harder now when I spend the night with her as she talks constantly so I know how hard it can be, you could try getting on the housing list, your diagnosis would probably get you some points. 

    When I look back now I wonder how we ever ma aged it, I think now she talks a lot because she doesn't get out muchas she is quite elderly. I love her to bits but yes its hard going, I feel you pain. Good luck.
