[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682823, member: 1550"] Maybe for her to go out on her own, she will need to be declared disabled and get supports, ssi and help finding a government supported place to live. That beats living with you until you die...then what? She is not you. Although you have more diagnosis than her (so far) you can work even under stress. That's great for you. That also doesnt mean that your daughter can work and be independent She is not you and her problems may he fewer but may prevent her from launching at this time oe maybe ever. Is she maybe on the spectrum? Whether she is or isnt she realizes she is unable to be a total adult right now and that she would need help. I believe her assessment. I had the same problem although back then there was no help. Having said that, there are other options other than your apartment where she can live. There are group home and assisted apartment programs, if she is labeled disabled. And right now she is quite disabled by her mental health issues. medications,as you know, can make one very tired. I used to fall asleep at work on one medication. Obviously the job didnt last but it took a while for ne to find an alternative medication. Mental heath and learning disabilities are on a spectrum. On one end are those who fully function anyway. On the other end are those who can not function independently. Sometimes people climb up and down the spectrum. Right now...today...your daughter is not able to function. If she were mine id help her get supports so that she may move on, with help, and that you can move on too. Good luck, no matter what you decide. [/QUOTE]
