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

Re: 14th year house bound

Crying in of itself can be very healing .. @Jacques

cleansing the soul ... or whatever you want to call that part of ourselves.

... apart from the unwanted snotty bodily fluids ... yuk.

Now I can go and cook dinner

Thank you Karen,

you are a wonderful friend, i feel so bad, feeling so low, when you are the one who needs support. i am feeling so lost, due to our agreement with the moderators i can't go any further with this conversation.

Karen i so wish i could help you more, i hope the girls are coping.

I got some really bad news on wendsday mum made arrangements to have Christmas lunch at her friends place, after i told her 3 times i want to be alone, she just will not listen, for the past 2 days i have told her i don't want to go, but she is adament i have to attend this stupid Christmas thing, i so hate hollidays and special occasions, it brings nothing but misery for me.

Sorry KAren, i really can't talk tonight, i will be removed if i keep going, just really low. sorry..............

just sorry........

Re: 14th year house bound

Thanks for letting me know Jacques. It must have come as a great shock. Especially when you weren't aware of the plans she made.
it has been a really emotional week for both of us.
I completely understand why you are ubable to talk Jacques.
Maybe you could just tell your mum that you will drip her off and pick her up at an arranged time. Even if you find a parj and just sit in the car until she's funished.
sorry j thats all I can think of.

Thanks for letting us know that you're safe.

@Jacques I want to remind you that we've never mentioned you getting removed.

I can understand if you don't want to talk. Though by the sounds of it, it may help to talk through what's going on with your mum, and christmas plans. As we've discussed it's ok to talk through events and situations that are causing you distress.
