I have always had a fear of being alone. It got so bad when I hit my mid 30's that I'm sure I was a pain in the butt to family and friends because I'd pick up the phone and phone just to hear someone's voice. I have managed it somewhat by going through a CBT plan but I still fight the fear. What steps have or are you taking?
I have the same fear of being alone. It's almost been like terror at times. I'm not sure just yet how to handle it though. I was doing ok home alone and then once the panic started coming full blown it has progressed into something that I can panic over before the time of being alone has even come yet. Wish I could help you but please if you find anything that helps share and I will too.
I have a fear of being alone during the day after my husband goes to work. I try turning on the television for a distraction and sometimes it helps. Sometimes I get so scared that I make plans ahead of time to be a my parents or grandmas house. I just hate being alone, I don't know how to act. I have lupus and fibromyalgia, so I can't work. I have a cat, but they are only so much help...lol. Today wasn't too bad..I had my therapist appt. during the afternoon, then stopped to see my family then came home and baked pies for tomorrow. Also, put myself to work outside getting ready for the winter. I just hate the fears I get of being alone. I'm not afraid of harming myself. Just afraid. Does anyone have this? I also have the stupid OCD real bad. Checking things. Drives me nuts. The therapist says I'm way too hard on myself and I know it, but can't help it. Advice anyone?
