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

Hi Karen

Thanks for asking I love that
I so enjoy reading your messages to @Jacques
This last week well.... This nightmare with legal stuff is so ...... Well this is going to sound strange but I just feel sad that I'm having such a nightmare and though the police promised to call me today well they didn't because they are so overwhelmed with other things happening around me.
Its so wonderful for me that I'm sorting out stuff with my ex husband. He is strangely clever over stuff which suit me.

Take care to you Karen and daughters

Honey Karen

Because life is hard. Because you are sensitive. Because you love your children and hold their emotional states.

Can I contribute to the dark chocolate too ?

Hi Anne

Sorry your having a difficult time at the moment.

Feel free to help yourself there is plenty of chocolate here.

Today is a new day and I hope it's better for you.

I am sorry you had another tough night, what a week it has been for you, you poor thing, i hope you can get some rest today.

Hi Lj

The nights are long which makes the days even longer. Rest up if you can.

Fingers crossed that your daughter gets into the choir, it will be wonderful if she gets in.

Oh thanks for sharing the chocolate. I have never liked or eaten cchocolate until I started these new meds now I can't get enough.

Take care

Karen

Hi Jacques

Being an only child I'm sure you have never had to share. Well things will have to change now you have friends:-)

Did you get your Mandalay books?

I hope you find them helpful.

It's been another long night and I'm pretty weary.

I thought of you when I read this j

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Take care j

Hi My Angel,

Yes i never had to share, i suppose i can spare a small corner of the chocolate

Yes i have got 3 of the Mandalay books, i have looked at them, but not done any yet. i will try this weekend.

Oh you poor thing, the little one again hey, she must be exhausted too, i am wishing her a speedy recovery, my heart goes out to the both of you.

Karen what a beautiful quote, i suppose it suits us both, you should write it down and make sure you stick it to a place so that you see it when you wake up, i will too.

Thank you my friend, try and get some rest.

thinking of you

Jacques
