Being alone anxiety?
| Tue, 08-15-2006 - 3:49pm |
I've been trying to pinpoint what exactly makes me have anxiety or a panic attack....it is being alone. My husband works alot of hours and I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I feel anxiety when I'm alone and when I try to sleep. Can anyone relate? It's so frustrating.
Thank you,
Jessica

When the panic started for me in Jan. 2005, I couldn't stay home alone with my son, either.

I can't remember my starting dose, honestly.

Hi & welcome to our group!

Well, I can see by the 19 replies, many can relate!!! Me too!
When I first started having Anxiety problems, I was really really terrified of being alone. I would go to the library or anywhere else just to be around people! I too was a sahm. And at that time with no car and a brand new baby. I walked a lot! That probably helped me too. The good news is, I no longer feel that way. After 14 years of dealing with Anxiety, I've grown and learned and it no longer bothers me to be alone! Ok, if I were in the middle of no where with no one around for miles and miles and miles, that may bother me a little but that is extreme and not likely anyway!!! LOL!
So I guess I'm saying, go to the library, the store, anywhere you can go hang out with other people around to make you feel better. AND there is hope for sure that you will not always feel this way!!! I'm proof!
HUGS!
