I have severe depression and agoraphobia, among many other things. I can't leave the house at all, with an exception to a middle of the night run to the walmart down the road. I am afraid of myself and what I will do to myself if I get too lonely. Well I have a husband and he is wonderful..but he is getting a new job..which we need the great money it pays. The thing is..the job is a cross country trucking job and he will only be home for 4-8 days a month. That means the rest of the time I will be alone..I won't be able to see a therapist because I can't drive..I can only ride in a car..ONLY with my husband. When I get depressed and lonely I pop pills laying around and I cut myself to forget about everything. I am afriad if no one is there to be with me I will kill myself. Im very dependent on him and his company. I asked a friend to move in because she lives with her parents and always talks about moving out. She doesn't think this is the right time though because she is helping to support her parents becuase they are lazy. I don't have any other friends or family who can move in. What am i gonna do...how am I going to survive? Is there anyone else out there who is alone without a job, friends, family, and is afraid to be alone with themselves?!?! PLEASE HELP!

*Sighs, I feel your pain. My heart reaches out to you butI'm not sure how to help. Can you maybe call community mental health and see if they will send a therapist to your home?

Girl, you know I feel the same as you do. If I'm alone with myself I might do bad things that I can't take back. I'm tryign to fight it but sin feels so good.

Sit down and talk to your friend to make her understand hoe serious it is for her to be there. I think she will move in.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
