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, that explains it, i am sorry you and the girls had to be so traumatised by it, i hate sporting games, full stop, it turns people into animals, i wish they would ban sporting events, i get the same thing here, all the drunks go past my place of a friday night to go to the river, i have had eggs, beer bottles, food, etc thrown at the house, people are filth to me, that is why i like animals so much, they don't have the hatred and cruelty that humans do.

Karen please see this as an isolated incident, just one day, please try for me.

Hi My angel,

I hope you and the girls have calmed down from yesterdays incident, i bet it felt strange this morning combing your new short hair, lol.

Well today is here, i have to face my fears, again, it does not seem to get any easier, well maybe a little bit easier.

I hope the weather is nice down your way, it is nice here to day, not too hot, not too cold, boy i love spring, their is something so nice about it, all the birds are chirping, the baby animals, etc.

I hope you manage to have a nice day today, i will be on and off all day, so i will respond when i can, Take care my angel, i will be thinking of you.

Hi Jacques

I hope you are ok. I've missed talking to you but you have been in my thoughts.

Today must have been really difficult for you and I hope you are remembering to breathe and all the grounding techniques we've discussed.

Please take care and stay safe

Your friend Karen
