This question is rather specific, so I know it's not going to get many answers, but any answer is appreciated.

I'm thinking about living alone, but I'm worried about getting certain issues. I've already talked about it to my doctor, but I also wanted to get answers from people who have went through it.

There is more to that due to my family’s religious cult like extremist nature, but fighting that is a direct path to homelessness.

That's what I'm mostly scared of. It's not due to religion, but mostly my parents disagree with my doctor's advice most of the time. I'm taking medication without them knowing, but if they ever found out, I'm legit screwed. I would be able to live on my own easily if it weren't for my illness, but I try not to think about that.

I can handle the pain part okay, but the psychology of weeks spent like a zombie without focus is unbearable. I can’t tell you how many times I was working on some hobby project that got shelved because of weeks spent in a zombie like state

This also happens to me on a lesser scale. I couldn't imagine weeks. Take care.
