@Aisukohi: yeah I'll have to look into those when I do move out.moving won't be anytime soon since I would prefer to just slowly prepare and work hard. there is a lot I feel I am going to need to figure out first.

insurance definitely will need. the one I am on tho doesn't cover dental or vision hardly lol.

I plan to get pet insurance.

@neon: yeah I don't make enough to even pay half of rent. thus is just a kind of long term goal and how I can prepare for it.

@neon: unfortunately it's highly unlikely for me to room with anyone. I only know family and I'm trying to get away from them ot at least set up boundaries. I know it won't fix everything but I just want to not feel miserable every morning or suddenly having to cook 2-3 different dinners with no notice and getting super overwhelmed XD

I'm not planning to move until income is more steady so this is not happening in the next few Years.

So over the course of the week, I've been considering to eventually move out to live alone. I won't be moving out for a long while due to i'm still figuring out job stuff[freelance artist]. But I just lately have been getting really irritated with the negativity, pessimistic, and judgmental attitudes
of my family. Don't get my wrong, I love them very much and they are not terrible people.
That being said, I think I've reached my limit. I'm almost 30 and I have never been independent. I can't drive, and I have a mountain of mental illnesses.
Not even my family i feel believes i could live alone, and living alone does scare me. But, I need my space. I share a bedroom and have all my life, and i feel my views with my dad's religion i just don't have the same views or agree with a lot of it and it feels it's crammed down my throat at every moment. I can't even say i want to watch a movie without him wanting to watch something religion related.

I just feel like im suffocating and currently my family's household is not at all ADHD/neurodivergent friendly. They know of my ADHD and my sister knows i am possibly autistic, but no one really keeps in mind of my mental health and limitations or they just seem to forget it all the time.
I constantly have to put aside my wants or things I enjoy doing just to do chores very often like cooking dinner and i honestly feel miserable.
I suppose what i want is advice for moving out in a conflicting household?
I don't know the first thing at even being an adult let alone independent adult.

been doing digital art for over a decade and it's also my job.

but it all depends what you want out of it.
if you want to draw well and such, studying the fundamentals is essential.

if not overall just have fun, figure out what brushes you like, what how to use your program etc.

how long to get the hang of it depends on how often you practice but you can't ever master it. you can always learn more. it usually takes years to get good at a skill

@Totalanimefan: will do, but not sure how much I'll afford as my main focus is art books which are between $30-50 each.

@macsen191: I completely understand, my mom passed away in 2021. I ended up oversleeping to heal and cope with the grief.

@Totalanimefan: For me it's not dry skin but an actual skin condition which gets super red, bumpy, etc.
Nope. Facial washes and moisturizers are kinda a toss up. things often flare up my rosacea or lotions from drug stores bother my other skin condition
which will flare that up or make it feel super greasy and oily.
Nothing has worked thus far so i won't be using any drug store type of skin care and going to a self-made small business instead.

@Bonnie: yeah, that makes sense.
I hope it goes well.

@totalanimefan: drugstore options don't actually work for me.
so i can't really use the options they have
due to my skin condition, the options flare it up and make it worse.
