I do . For the health anxiety I just don’t trust certain doctors even though I know they can help and also I feel like sometimes they don’t get to know me and just give me pill after pill to take .

As the being left alone I struggle with that as well because for me some hard things have happened In the past and I’m afraid that those closet to me will be taken away and I will be left alone. I just try to spend as much time with those who are close to me and try my best to let those negative though go away .

I understand there was a point in my life also where I had a strong mind and body spirit but as I got older I became more anxious and depressed . I know how bad nervous breakdowns can be and just know if you need anyone to talk to I’m here .

You might check out the youtube videos of Paige Pradko for dealing with health anxiety, she also has an online program for health anxiety on her website that looked good.

i too can't stay alone in my home especially mornings when my anxiety is the worst. My husband leaves every morning 7 days a week to go to the local coffee shop. I have to go with him as I can't stay here. I am so sick of going out every morning! I don't want to do this , I used to be able to stay home . I tried staying aline recently , my anxiety got so bad that I called my daughter to come over to be with me. How do I get out of this? I feel like a little kid that lost their mother. This is not normal! I an 73 old enough to nit be like this. I recently lost a brother and my dog has Lyme disease that has affected his kidneys and " fear" loosing him. Also have to take Mt dog everywhere I go.

I've always had a big fear of being left alone. This is a problem I had in my childhood. Unfortunately a little over 3 years ago my fear came to light. Needless to say, it has been the worst period of my life, even worse than when I had cancer.

Therapists will tell you that you are always learning something new about yourself, I completely agree. One of the things I've learned about myself during the last 3 years is that I don't do well being alone. I've been able to tackle many things in my life, from bad to worse, but I've always had support by my side.

This time it's different, this time I'm completely alone and it has been a battle unlike any other. A battle that won't take your life, but won't let you live either.
