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

@Jacques I can do EARLY morning walks 'with' you as I am normally up by 5am anyhow, but I don't have a smart phone to message along the way so it probably doesn't count.

Hi Jacques I hope you had a good day.

What did you get up to today?

I went to the animal sanctuary today I spent 6 hours there helping to look after the children. My daughter really enjoyed herself. She loved all the animals.

It was so sad when I left her she was crying. They are having a sleep over at school, it will be her first time away from home. I hope she manages I'm really worried that if she gets upset they won't call me.

I know I'm an overprotective mum. It's just after so long trying to keep them safe I am unable to stop the fear that someone is going to hurt them.

Thinking of you Jacques

Take care

Karen

My kids and I love Healesville.

@hiddenite Do you know that I hugged my conductor the other day and called him a little teddy bear ... I have never done anything so sweet ... he is short and has curly hair and I think it came out of my subconscious from seeing your little blue bear ...

Hi appleblossom it's certainly a wonderful day out. I'm so lucky to have bought a house in such a beautiful location. Not too far from there.
