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

I know my angel, but you understand what i mean, in real life it will be only me, a house, and these forums, i will have everything and nothing.

Karen you are my best friend, i hope you know that, you are so good to me, and kind, i wish i had a friend like you here to be able to enjoy parks, gardens, etc. it would make life so much more bearable, i love hearing what you and the girls get up to, you have to little ones to enjoy life with.

Karen, i will probably exist for a while yet, so don't worry about losing me, i will hold on as long as i can. until it becomes too unbearable.

Re: 14th year house bound

Oh Karen the wizard of oz, first they play the part then watch the movie, it is good that they enjoyed it.

I am sorry you and the girls got triggered in the shop, it must be so hard not to get triggered in public, I hope the girls will someday will be able to have less anxiety.

Karen I do hope you manage to get some well earned rest tonight, I am glad you are trying for an early night, I wish I could, I just can't sleep.

Re: 14th year house bound

Oh My angel, you should not be so kind to me. Yes the dredded day out, well i suppose it is not so bad, i just struggle being around people, it is nice sometimes to get out of the house for a little while.

I would like to talk, i hope you and the girls have a nice day too, i hope you are doing ok today and managed some sleep last night, i was so glad when you said you where going to have an early night, you sound so exhaused sometimes, you are sounding a littlebetter with your writing too, i really hope you are ok.

hopefully i will be on here on and off today, i will keep checking if you need to talk too.

Take care my angel, i am thinking of you.

Jacques
