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 @PeppiPatty,

You lucky thing, yum some dark and white chocolate, im in, thank you.

I just read the thread @Appleblossom posted, wow, she is so considerate, so kind and caring, i am lucky to have @Appleblossom as my friend.

i hope things are going good for you and hubby @PeppiPatty, and the stalker is leaving you alone, it must be very worrying for you not to have police support, how is the new computer going?.

Thank you for being my friend Anne, it means so much to me.

Hi My angel,

Well i am feeling pretty horrible today, i had a panic attack all night, my chest is sore and i am feeling very disorientated today, my wrist is aching non stop, and it looks like it is going to be a horrible day.

I hope things where better for you last night. how is your little one?

on the upside i did one mandalay last night after all, i messed up once and had to fix it straight away, i find it very stressing to do them, but i am going to persevere.

I am thinking of you my friend, i hope you have a good day.

OMG Karen, i do remember school sports days, my gosh you must be triggered, you are doing well coping with 7 schools, wow Karen, i am so proud of you, i hope you get some enjoyment out of the day and the girls get some ribbons too, it is a big day for you.

Yes Karen, i am going to sleep this afternoon i am so tired, i hope i don't get too many panic attacks then, i am so exhausted, i know how you feel, sleep is a troublesome thing to find.

Karen, it gave me great anxiety doing the mandalay, but i am going to persevere, if you ca ndo it so can i.

Hi Jacques

I wish I could do something to help you feel better. I feel helpless watching you suffer. I know what it's like.

I've been triggering all day one of the fathers had the same aftershave as my husband , he seemed to always be near me.

J if there is anything I can do please let me know.

You are not alone and I truly understand how awful things can become.

I'm here if you need to talk or vent.

It is not stars that hold our destiny but in ourselves.

Karen
