Something’s not right

I don't know what's wrong with me

I don't know what's wrong with me

Hey,

I joined Sane and sent a referral because I just don't know what to do any more. I've had agoraphobia for a while and can't force myself to leave the house at all. Lately I avoid the phone as well. I have two close friends I feel comfortable hanging out with on discord to play games or watch something together and that's about it. I couldn't even force myself to pick up the phone for the SANE welcome appointment and cancelled my referral by email. The truth is if I was well off I wouldn't care, the only thing I'm worried about is what I'm going to do in a year or two when my lease runs out and I'm too mentally crippled to work or do anything about it. My last relationship I was physically and mentally abused constantly for a bout 6 years and didn't have the confidence to just leave (I'm a guy she was a woman), that was 5 years ago when I finally ended it and I swore off relationships all together at that point. Not long after my cat passed away and I became completely closed off. There have been some okay times where I could force myself to go for walks but it's completely degenerated into struggling to force myself to even wheel the bins out or because I don't want anyone seeing me. I'll probably be too anxious to reply to anything so if anyone does comment I apologise in advance don't take it personally but I'll try, it was hard enough posting this but it was good to write it down and get it out. I hope everyone else has better luck than me ❤️

Hi @Whisperila

I read your story.
seems like you are well aware of what you do and do not like. That’s good.
Its great you have a few friends to catch up with. I don’t have many myself but a few are nice. And Cats are beautiful too.
Here is some friendly advice - continue to fight for what you want.
Do more on days you can.

Less on days you can’t.

Always try keep a place for yourself - it’s your haven. A place for you to just be.
I’m glad you have found this site.
I only found it myself 24 hrs before you.
I needed advice as well.

I hope you have a great day.
The world is too busy. It’s okay that you slowed down for a while. I hope today and tomorrow are kind to you.Your are like a transformer some days a car laying low and some days a hero - I hope you find your all spark. Hahaha that makes me smile.

Take care

C
