I was just wondering how people cope with living alone and having a mental health problem?
I know I have to do everything for myself but sometimes I can't and there's no one to help me do it either.
How do you motivate yourself?
Where do you get help you need from?
How do you keep yourself safe?

When I used to live on my own it was a real struggle trying to get the help that I needed, but I managed to get myself into a good routine. I kept myself so busy that I barely thought about the other things going on in my head. Now I live with Jake I actually find it more difficult because I've become reliant on him and don't do everything for myself. You've got the upper hand because you can find a million things to keep yourself busy.
As for staying motivated, I'm still struggling with that one myself! I know you're a strong person though pickle, you can do this x

Thank you. Im trying to work on routine, but I cant think even a day ahead. When im "up" for long enough I'll make one and stick it on my wall so I remember.
Yeah motivations the hardest part, literally all the gets me up is knowing if I don't the crisis team could see it as getting worse and admit me and I don't want to be admitted.
