Meme Therapy Is this why I’m somewhat stable?

So I still live with my parents because I can’t afford to live comfortably in my own country. I feel like my life is somewhat structured because I do a lot of things because I’m in my parent’s house. But I can’t help but think I would be on the right side of I could live by my own means.

See, I worry about this. I've always wanted to live on my own, but I wonder if my life would be a chaotic mess? I live with parents too and do a lot for them, cooking/cleaning/fixing stuff. Would I not bother if I lived by myself? Who knows, but I simply can't afford to move out anyway

I’m living at home to save money for my own place and do the same. I hope the habit building and repetition sticks, for example I clean the house every Sunday morning while they’re at church. I heard adhd doesn’t impact building habits and if you get through the most painful beginning stages of habits it can stick just as well and be a good crutch to do something without thinking about it too hard🤞
