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

Um something nice I'm all out sorry Jacques.

Maybe I should read the positive affirmations I wrote out last night for you.

Did you read them?

Ok I've got one, I'm a good friend.

How'd I go?

Re: 14th year house bound

Karen you are such a sweet person, so caring, so supportive, please remember this, i care for you so much, things are bad, really bad, but your support is such a lifeline.

OMG, mum, dad and the little ducklings, Karen you are so lucky, i am hoping to build a big pond to entice ducks to nest at my home too, maybe one day. I am sure the girls are going to love it, they are so lucky to have such a great mum, we have a wetland in the town i live, their are ducklings and gosslings their too, i went out their about 2 weeks ago, so cute.

I hope their appointment help them Karen, i know it will, you are getting them help early in their lives before it becomes a major problem. Karen how is your eyesight? you never told me how you went. sorry maybe too personal, just tell me if it is ok or not.

Karen i read them for about an hour last night, over and over, i could almost here you saying them to me, it was so beautiful, so soothing. thank you

Karen thank you, i know you don't believe what you say, but you are a great friend to me, and so much more, i wish you could step outside yourself for a minute and see what i see, the inner goodness you have far surpasses all the negativity in your mind. you just need to search for it, feel it and believe it.

I can't help but chime in her to say, I hope we can see the ducks too! Would love to see photos if you'd like to share...

Re: 14th year house bound

I saw the Dr on Monday I promised you I would.

He said I have low blood sugar and high blood pressure.

He was more concerned that he could see that I have deteriorated and that the intrusive thoughts are a constant for me now. He is really worried and made me promise to stay safe.

He also told me one of the medications I'm on can effect the eye sight.

So no real answers.

Driving is really challenging.

Jacques will you go to the Dr please?

Re: 14th year house bound

Hi cb I'm technically challenged I've only used a tablet for 2 years and I don't have a computer. Jacques has been helping me.

Anyway I don't know how to post photos, I would if I knew how.

Jacques I'm so glad that you managed to read them I picked them out especially for you. Hoping that they may distract you for awhile.

That said it helped me too having to write them out so thank you...

Re: 14th year house bound

Yes i thought it maybe your reduction of sugary drinks, i am so sorry for trying to get you off them, keep vigilent Karen, you do not want diabeties, it is not pleasent.

Karen you hold on, i can't lose you, i would not cope if i lost you again, please hold on.

I am sure driving is challenging, make sure if you need to take regular breaks along the way, maybe pick the girls up early, to give youself plenty of time.

Karen i have to go to the doctors next month, i just can't bring myself to do any more than get a script and leave, Karen i will struggle on, i have fought this for so long.

Karen if you would like to share the photo of the ducklings, send the pic to @CherryBomb through email, i am sure she can put it up for you. team@saneforums.org

Oh Jacques you give me too much credit I don't know how to do that either.

I'm sorry Jacques unless someone teaches me I have no idea.

Re: 14th year house bound

No worries @hiddenite. If you would like to send through to me as suggested by @hiddenite, I'd be more than happy to post them for you, but no biggie otherwise. The thought of cute little ducks makes me smile.
