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

Karen pleasse never do that, i am so angry at myself for saying i could not talk last night, i know that would have made you feel alone, i am so sorry, i am your friend and i should have been their for you, i have no excuse for my actions.

I feel so terrible whining about seeing a few people i used to know, when you witnessed such a horrible sight, it must have been very triggering for you, did the nurses offer any counciling for you? or any support from anyone about what you witnessed?

Karen i am going to always be here if you want to talk, i am going to make an effort.

Well the side of my house got mowed today by the council and they made a mess of the drive way so i went out to rake up all the lawn clippings to make everything nice and tidy, everytime i went from one side of the drive way to the other the chickens followed, left then right, right then left, they must have thought i had food for them, i felt like the pide piper . Miss Piggy was covered in mud, very proud of the fact she was so dirty, she was snorting at the fence at me while i was out the side.

Mrs Magpie is getting her dinner now, she is sitting on the ute eating th small chunks of mince, she is really struggling to fly, so she is well looked after, the neighbour feeds her and we supply the shower. she muct be the luckiest magpie around here.

The wild birds in our yard are growing up now from chicks so they are playing and getting up to mischeif in and under the trees and shrubs. they are so cute. I just went out and watered the Garden i made for you Karen, they are looking so nice. i thought of you the whole time i was their.

Anyway Karen i want you to know please don't shut me out, i am always here for you, for the good and bad times Karen, i am a man but i would never hurt you, you are my best friend.

Jacques
