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

Well i am doingsome more work on the house, getting the laundry ready for paint, the plumber will be here to finish off on thrursday, so i am hoping to paint and put down the lino next week.

Well their is not much for me to do to make me feel it is just for me, i am limited in what i can do, becaue i am not able to leave the house.

Karen i know this is going ot sound silly, but my most favourite thing to do is buy a coffee from a good coffee shop and sit by the river and watch the animals while enjoying a cuppa. i know it sounds stupid, but that is what i like.

Re: 14th year house bound

That's not silly Jacques that's a beautiful thing to want to do. That's why I go to the river and sit in my car. No one can touch or hurt me. I can hear the river and watch the wildlife. Just perfect......

I couldn't think of anything better other than a coke instead of the coffee.

I'd better let you get some work done j.

Thanks for being with me.

Re: 14th year house bound

Oh you mean I have you all to myself!!!! Awesome.

It's too hot here now and my hands are really sore.

I've also washed them too many times.

The showers and bathrooms are moldy and it grosses me out trying to dismantle the shower.

Just log off if you have had enough of talking to me j.

I'm sure you've got better things to to like sleep.

I wouldn't mind a nanna nap....
