Trapped in my own home!

I feel trapped and helpless this morning. I can't get outside my home with the walker & I have no ramps for the wheelchair or scooter and if I get out, I have no place to go, nothing to do and no way to get back in. I am beginning to have anxiety attacks over this. What happens if my house catches on fire? What happens if someone breaks in? I can't breath at times over these thoughts.

My neighbors have deserted me. Once willing to come over and help me each day to get the dog in and out of the house, they have quit coming over. Now, I am truly alone with no one. My husband doesn't understand, how can he, he has never been trapped. I have so much to do before I move out of my home, and I can't even do that. How can I pack boxes with one leg that I can't even stand on? I can't reach the door knobs, cabinets, sinks, etc. I am becoming fearful.

I open the front door to let in the light, air and any amount of human contact I can have even if it is just noises in the street at least I can feel I am having some human contact. My best friend is leaving Tuesday and then once again I will be really alone.

What ever happened to family? My grandparents were always there when my mom or my parents needed them. My mom was there for several weeks when my sister had a blood clot & yet they all tell me I can do this on my own.

WAKE UP FAMILY.....I can't do this on my own!! How much more do you expect me to do on my own? You who expect me to be there for you when you need it all the time, when you get older because you don't want to be in a home, you expect me to be there for you.

Well, this experience has shown me who cares and who doesn't and I will NOT be there for you, you have left me hurting, alone, scared & paying money for people just to take me to get milk.

I am hurt, I am sad and I am sooooo outa here!
