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 have really missed you too, i checked email all day for a message, i knew you where in trouble.

Karen sometimes you just need to live in the moment, let go of everything else, your health is so much more important.

if your tired my angel, sleep, i will watch over you, protect you, and keep you safe

OK Karen, my angel, what can we talk about? hmmmmm, how is the weather where you are? the weather here is cool with some couds.

Miss piggie was having a fun day today, she was covered in mud, her mud bath, she was so proud of herself, then she had her oats. The chickens where all trying to stand on a box to be the big chicken, then they started to bury themselves, i think it is a way to keep cool, they where throwing dirt everywhere.

The calf was eating a palm tree in the corner of his paddock, i don't know how he eats the leaves they are so rough, the frogs are singing now, it is so nice.

Oh it was so cute today, i had a honey eater, a little bird, gray with a yellow beak, well he was sitting on the gate of my home, i was washing down the lawn mower and line trimmer, so every now and again i would spray some water his way, he was loving it, holding out his wings and splashing around, he was having so much fun, then he flew off. the birds are such curious creatures.
