Good morning and thank you for writing back. Of the disabilities you wrote back about my two biggest concerns are of course you suffering with bipolar disorder and your anxiety problems. Hopefully you are staying on your medications for the bipolar problems and that is under control as well as your anxiety disorder.
As I said I am not a doctor but my wife is employed in the mental health field and we are immersed in the day to day problems of people who do suffer with these problems; so I am familiar with them.
The ADHD and the learning disabilities are not problems that will be effected by moving though I'm not quite as sure when it comes to the other two problems. In fact I am concerned that moving will cause you problems with anxiety with being in a new place without the support systems you have built for yourself with your friends and church. Having problems with anxiety issues could in turn trigger problems with your bipolar disorder.
I would suggest you check with your doctors and get their feedback as to how they feel about you moving to a strange new place. You do have an alternative which is to live with your cousin.
While you are talking to your doctors ask them how they feel about you living on your own in a supervised group home. If they agree follow the advice I gave you yesterday.
As I said I am not a doctor but if you are compliant with your medications and doctors visits. I see no reason why you could not live in a group home and possibly work at one of the organizations I mentioned or one like them.
Should your doctors agree you could try it to see how you like living on your own. A good friend of my wife's is bipolar and suffers from ADHD. She is also a nurse in a Veterans hospital and lives totally on her own.
The limitation I can see from what you have written is the degree of your learning disability. With the proper help learning disabilities can be overcome.
