So much fear!

Help!!!! Why am I so scared of being left alone. I’ve been going through severe depression and anxiety for 3 weeks now and my husband has stayed home from work the whole time. Just the thought of him leaving back to work tomorrow, gives me an overwhelming amount of anxiety why? Has anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I have a massive fear of being alone, I had it since the death of my Mother when I was young, it's never went away, I can completely relate to where you are coming from when my partner leaves the room I walk after her I feel so scared, your not alone it stems from somewhere.

I lost my mother 2 years ago she was my best friend and I was literally with her everyday. I just don’t know what to do when he leaves tomorrow. I feel like I’m going to loose it.

That's more than likely we're it stems from, completely understandable reason, I would suggest going to a friends or family members to relax so your not alone that's what I do and it takes my mind of things.

yes.! I currently am going through this exact same thing. My husband has to travel for work next week and it terrifies me to be alone. I have no family or friends in the area which is why i think i get anxiety over this.

It’s terrible it’s a crippling overwhelming fear.

Hi Jessclay, do you have any hobbies or groups you like to attend, I like to go to the cinema when I feel anxious and your not alone there is a lot of people around you

I hate when my fiancé goes to work. He works nights and I work days.

Being alone at night is horrible because I keep thinking what if he doesn’t come back.

So I can relate to how you’re feeling and I’m sorry you feel like this.

What has helped me is my dog. She’s great at cuddling and listening. Having her in my life doesn’t always work. I still have my bad days and I still hate when he goes to work, but most days her being with me does ease the symptoms.

So if you don’t have a pet I suggest getting one as they are wonderful additions to the family
