Living with parents

I am 37 years old I live with my parents, I have adhd and with my doggy Cooper. Lately I have been noticing I like being alone but I like having my parents being around. I have lived in my own but not too far from my parents, because I suffer from anxiety and I felt that if I am far from them my anxiety I get anxious. Since the pandemic, my mom has been working from home and I have been enjoying her being home but now recently she’s has been going back to her office certain days of the week and I don’t like it because my dad is also now at work and also my boyfriend works too so I rarely ever get to see him and he lives in a different town than me. Does anyone else have this experience? What do you do?

I am also 37 ii have been on my own only a year, my anxiety doesn’t allow me to function… ii literally need a home health aid . I didn’t realize that as much as ii hated having my mother in my space ii needed her … its hard , there’s no easy solution other than enrolling in an independent living program, life skills course, or hyper focusing when you can on the one thing you love - for me its currently creating a personal brand . Then you have to become crazy rich and live on your own term like all the other adhd/ autistic adults

I both hate and love being alone. I’m thinking I’m a ‘sparkling introvert’ as I work in entertainment being extremely social, but I also need time alone to rest up and work on some craft projects. I live with hubby - who works very different hours to me, so I don’t get much time with him, and two silly pugs. I’d go nuts without my pugs to talk to and sing to all day! It’s kinda nice hearing others (dogs or hubby) about the house when I’m home.
