so im pretty new at this.. for the longest i kept tellin my mom i was fine not talkin to ppl who were in the same position as me. but now im thinkin it cant hurt. id hav friends that understand wat im goin through. i mean i love my friends && family lik no other but i kno they dont understand some of the things i go through. for example i am a very independent person but living at home i hav to depend alot on others to help me or do things *i.e. laundry, goin upstairs, gettin rides EVERYWHERE* && i really dont lik that. i cant wait for the day that i getta car && can move out!

Welcome and this sounds familier. I hate relying on other people (especially when the people are idiots who don't freakin listen!). I was just stuck in the hospital again for a while. While I'm there, I say I'm getting up so the nurse figures I need 2 or 3 people to help me transfer. While she was gone looking for help I got myself up. I sure as hell don't want 3 people in my way, ending up pushing me on the ground again.
