14th year house bound

14th year house bound

Hi Everyone,

I am new hear, after being removed from other mental health forums for my depressive thoughts i thought i would give this forum a try, this is my story.

I am 33 live with my mother, i am almost compeatly housebound, i leave my house once in the morning for a walk at 6am and maybe once during the week, both times i leave the house fill me with great anxiety, i have no friends, (the last friend i had was in 2001), i have never had a job, never had a girlfriend and never been able to leave my parents side, my father died in 2001 and i have always suffered seperation anxiety the last time i had a night away from home was 1994 for one night (parents had to pick me up at midnight because i was so frantic).

I have spent most of the past 14 years in my room, or the shed, never much out of the yard, no one in my town knows me, people stare and ask each other behind my back if any one knows who i am.

I have only had an income for the past year and spend the previous 7 with no income at all, mum had to use all of her life savings to allow me to live with her and she now has nothing.

I only want to live long enough to care for her in her old age and then i plan to take my own life, i knew from an early age my life would turn out like this, but had no idea how horrible it would be, every day is the same, i often wonder why i keep going, i have very little contact with family (maybe once a year) and i am really struggling to keep going.

Please don't feel distressed about what i am saying, and i am so sorry if i have offended anyone, it is just how i feel.

Their is so much more, but i will leave it at that for the moment, i am shaking and the anxiety is kicking in so thankyou for reading and i will add more later.

Jacques

Karen, i am so sorry, it must be so upsetting to the girls to hear their grandmother say such awful things, she is not a nice woman, she is not a good mother, Karen i do understand, i can't stand anyone touching me either, lucky for me mum was a hair dresser, i really feel for you Karen, i do know you would do all you could to look after it.

I hate to say this Karen, but your husbands mother is to blame for making such an abusive boy, she sounds very manipulative, very hateful, not able to see her son as an abuser, making excuses.

If he had not died, he would have seriously harmed you Karen, good wife or not. he hated women, i know this type of man, my aunt was married to an abusive man, his mother would not see him as anything other than an angel, she would not see the terrible things he did, it was always someone elses fault.

Karen you never deserve to end up like him, you deserve love, respect, a stable life, and no verbal, physical or sexual abuse, you are a beutiful person, inside and out Karen, you are my guardian angel, you protect me, you help me, you are such a kind soul.

Re: 14th year house bound

That would be a great idea j but mum will use it against me telling me I'm pathetic and running away. I'm supposed to be facing what he did do me in this room. No win win for me
