I'm surprised my sister and brother let me do whatever I want and not be a guardian or whatever it's called. Years ago my psychologist diagnosed me with SA and ASD among others. They know my psychologist forced me into a psych ward for attempt to end myself. Often I've just wanted to live in one of those places that take care of you. I get so deathly tired of making bad decisions, the voices in my head, loneliness, psychosis, being such a misfit, etc .

I don’t know what SA or ASD stand for but if you’ve had enough why not simply ask your siblings to take over?

I'm too afraid to ask. Also in a way it feels strange to ask. I don't think too many people with disorders or addictions ask to have others take control of their life. |

Here are a couple of sites that provide housing for those living with schizophrenia. I am assuming that is what SA stands for? Even if it is some other mental illness, you should still qualify for help.
These two sites sound like they are a group home style of living, which might be right up your alley. If you have a mental health team, they may also be able to help you get into some type of assisted living.

Anyone know what a psychologist would do if their client who's diagnosed with SA and ASD says they think they can't properly take care of themselves in society financially and socially?
Would the psychologist consider putting me in a full-time mental hospital? I don't even know if such hospitals exists anymore. I'm talking about the hospital in the movie one flew over the cuckoo's nests. |

State hospitals exist but are now few in number and only take a small amount of people. They also no longer house people for life. Your best bet would be a long term half way home. You might try going to ER and asking to see a social worker. Be sure to mention what your eating, and your teeth. flour, sugar and water is not to nutrient rich.
