Feel a bit ashamed 29 still stuck at home.

Well my mum doesn't have a partner she been single for years.
My dad who comes over doesn't do anything. At all.
He is a very unaviable dad.
Its ok to still be living at home. Everyone goes through life differently. My parents did, they had my sister and I in there 50's. Sometimes coming up with small goals help you manage living at home. If you have one big goal, like getting your own place? what you could do is come up with smaller goals to achieve it? It can even be as simple as putting your change in a bottle and once its full, take it to the bank and use it to help you buy a place. Another thing you can do is, every time you choose to not eat out, you put that money away in the bank, or reward yourself with a smaller snack from the sore that is only 1 to 5 dollars. You can use anything as a reward. If you like to sit and watch tv, well, every time you dont go out to eat and make your own food, then reward yourself with an extra show? I feel like doing this will keep you motivated to save money and go to work. I feel like it will have a ripple effect as in it might even help with your anxiety? Just remember to eat healthy food and no artificial things in it cause that can cause your anxiety to go up. If you do not like healthy food, like myself, I would defiantly try the reward system. 1 apple then an extra show. I would suggest not using a sweet as a reward system, but if you do, maybe saying, if I eat 1 banana everyday for a week, then I will go out and eat some ice cream.
