Wanting To Be Independent,

[babychrist]

I'm beginning to reach that age when personal independence has become a factor in my overall mood. Being dependent on other people have led to feeling trapped, depressed, even scared. I can't go where I want to go, when I want to go. My life to a great extent revolves around other people (and their schedules, God bless 'em). I've looked for resources that might help me become independent, but have had no real luck.

I need suggestions.

Can someone point me to an agency/resource that can help provide that extra assistance I need.

Right now, my most pressing issue, is transportation. But I'd also like to know what all else is out there, in case I need additional help in the future, like help for housing, food, utilities, basic needs ect.

Thanks.

Wanting personal independence is perfectly natural and I would have thought the people you depend on would understand this. Do they know how you feel about this? It would be good if they could support you to be more independent; it always helps having people on your side. Its also possible to be dependent and independent like you may depend on people for shopping, but its your choice what to buy.

Try not to get to depressed, but focus on what you might do to be more independent. Is there anyway you can make contact with people who have been in the same situation in your area?

Sorry I can't help more with resources, but I'm in the UK, so my resources are all UK based.

God bless and I pray that you will have the independence you want,
Steve.
