Gee, Lydia, sounds like you have the setup from heck I think I would use all my therapy hours to get a better setup set up? I'd use whoever they've got to work on being case worker and hammer out some details with your care if you can; printing out and bringing in this thread to start with.

I'd also work on what you can do at home, instead of staring at the four walls? You need to get interested in something online (like this site, good choice :-) that is a bit more active? Do you have a website or blog or anything that you do creative online? Do you have any personal, lifestyle goals like regular health care or weight loss or fitness?

I would look for a local group that interests you that might have someone living close enough to come get you and drive you to meetings? I met someone on here, on this site, that needed help with driving and I helped her get around and to meetings for a couple years until she had a car and could drive. I would make a project to look at all the local-to-you sites you can find and see if you can't set up a way to get out of the house a bit more like you want. What would you like to try out in the community? I would look at all the community services too, see if there isn't a transportation one that can get you places. How do you get to therapy?
