As others have said, I don't know if you meant that as an attack or not, but it felt like one. I don't take public transportation for three reasons: 1) My OCD can't handle the dirtiness of it, 2) I've had so many bad experiences with public transportation (including, but not limited to, having the bus doors shut on me, sitting in baby pee, being followed home by a nutjob, being sexually harassed, and being religiously harassed) that I have sworn off public transportation, and 3) there is no public transportation where I am now (except taxis, which I can't afford, anyway).

I see you're listed as being in Absecon. I moved from there about three and a half years ago to another South Jersey town. My current psych is still up that way, and my boyfriend comes home during his lunch hour when I have an appointment, picks me up, takes me there, and I stay there until he picks me up after work.

I don't have a mental health staff chauffeuring me around, either. I rely on my boyfriend, which means I only get out on the weekends (now that marching band season is over--from part of Sept. until Dec., I don't get out on the weekends, plus my boyfriend goes away for about 10 days for Thanksgiving) and for about an hour once a week when we go grocery shopping. Other times are rare.

I'm not lazy, and I don't like being limited, but don't judge me when you don't even know me. We're all happy you're so independent. That isn't possible for everyone. Sometimes we also aren't able to go "do something fun" because we're financially limited.
