I made a mistake.

ryleyyg

sometimes I feel like I should move out… but sometimes I don’t.

I feel like I fell for the trap of my my mum guilt tripping me into staying.
Now I’m regretting my choice,

Both her and my brother keep arguing and slamming doors…

I’m so annoyed at myself for falling for it… now I can’t get the opportunity back..

Any advice on what I can do?

Sign up for housing, the sooner you put in an application and get given a band and start bidding on properies (depending on the system used in your area) the better. You won't be offered a property straight away but will take some time and in the meantime you have atleast some movement.

#Ryleyyg,

We all make mistakes that is being human, most of us regret some poor choices that we make that is being human too!

I suggest that Rubin16 is a good place to start, however, it may pay you to try Charities such as Crisis or Shelter to see if either of these may be able to 'help' and support you in the meantime. I do not know for sure but unless you make an attempt to try you will not know if there is a way out for you whilst waiting on a housing list. (Which may take quite a while from experience through my son and family).

If you have neuro diverse conditions, making choices is much more difficult (as they are part of the traits for those conditions) . Unfortunately, it also means that those of us with these conditions are also more vulnerable to be manipulated or persuaded to 'change your mind' because of feeling 'threatened' by others promises or convince your that you would 'suffer' for consequences as a result of your choice to move when you feel that there is no alternative. Often these are people who equally rely on you if only to be a 'verbal punch bag' that makes them feel in control.

Choices are often daunting and sometimes they may seem to 'backfire' on you. However, if you never try, you will never know what might be around the corner to give you a quieter life and 'peace of mind'.

Don't know if this is 'helpful' to you or not. Hope it 'help'. Good luck with it whatever you choose to do.

The opportunity is still there ryleyyg. That's unlikely to change.

Trying anything for the first time can be daunting for all of us, but help and advice should certainly be available for you if you ask.

I encourage you to open that conversation with someone. Perhaps with a few people. It often helps to plan things carefully.

A social worker may be able to help you explore what options you have, what's likely to be your best route to getting where you want to be. If you have other advisors or assistants available, I encourage you to talk to them. The organisations figraspberry41 suggested may also be helpful. You could contact them with a telephone or online. Other, similar organisations are available too. There are likely housing/disability welfare groups local to you.

All the best journeys begin somewhere, why not start one?

Good luck
