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

Hey @PeppiPatty,

Well, let's see... I am not thin (about size 18). I have long blonde hair (with some grey, lol). At the moment I am wearing tracky dacks with ugg boots and a cardigan. Determined? Maybe more like persistent and a bit hard-headed. Thanks for trying to guess me! 🙂

Thanks to everyone for their support.
I find it so difficult to post anxiety prevents me from being a functioning member of society and im so scared of saying the wrong thing posting to others is so difficult.
My nental health is so unstable and im sorry if that impacts on any of the members here.
I do appreciate everyone's support even though I cannot alway answer.
take care
karen.

Yes Karen, dont worry 😄 A private conversation is ok, just remember to reach out if you want to when you're ready. i've been unsure about posting in your thread because you and Jaques know each other and i dont want to interupt 😄 but here if you ever want!

@hiddeniteI liked your post not because I thought you needed to apologise. Just a "smile".

The discussion just shows how thoughtful people are .. trying to read between the lines and respect your bond with @Jacques but also feeling privileged to be able to witness it as well.
