I am looking for way to improve our present living situation. I am a manic depressant with extreme bouts of anxiety. As a result I find it really hard to work. I love people but find that at time I just cant deal with things. My husband doesn't understand but also does not try to force me out to get the job I know I need to help with the finances. So I have been looking for another way to help. I have thought of commune living and self sustainable life styles. And I love the ideas. The issue is of course land. We rent right now and I hate the house. I think it is making things worse but maybe that just me. Anyway I have no clue were to start. I have been looking at anything from small lots around a local lake that are rather cheap to a 75 acre piece of land that is more of a pipe dream. It would take a group to reach out to this one. Of course it is the one I prefer but I have to be realistic. So other than buying the property were do I start? O know I want to be off the grid. This will be cheaper too live and cleaner as well. I have been looking at all types of homes from earth bag to earth ship and love everything I see. I realize there is a way to do it for next to nothing and frankly this is the only way it can happen. Well unless I find a group of like minded people to go in together to achieve a better way of living. Garnishments are keeping us from feeding our family right and this is making my issue even worse. Is there anyone like me that has any suggestions. Please be nice. I know all wont understand what I am dealing with. I don't need criticism I have a mother for that.
