Can you think of some things you can plan with your little brother that will keep him home with you a bit more? Maybe plan some pizza movie night or bake something together, or whatever you two might like. Also, can you drive? Maybe there is a DBSA or NAMI meeting near you you can go to at night. Or something at your local library? Or just go sit in a cafe, or go to a movie (maybe don't pick a depressing one). Watch some movies you really like? I could watch a few a hundred times and still want to watch them again.

Thanks and thanks so much for the suggestions, I appreciate it. My brother said he isn’t coming home until late tomorrow evening unfortunately. He is still out with his friends. I don’t have any friends myself. I haven’t talked to anyone since high school pretty much. And I only talk to my mom, not my step father. He doesn’t like me very much. Anyways. I have a cat. She does provide some comfort.
Unfortunately I can’t drive. I don’t have a license. And even if I could, my anxiety is way way way too high to do anything. I rarely leave my house to begin with. Baking is a good idea. Since I have no money to get something to eat. If I could just manage enough energy to bake maybe he will stay with me. Maybe a movie too. I’ll try. I just usually try to keep sound off and headphones in when I’m hearing stuff. It’s easier to tell what’s real.
Thank you again
