Being Alone
Anxiety Support / by Caitlynn1027

...See more Hi there,  I've been suffering from anxiety for a little over three years now. My mother passed away when I was 19 and instead of getting depressed, I suffered from severe anxiety which focused on my health and the health of those around me. I was in a train of thought where "well if this can happen, anything can happen". I was barely functioning - I only slept about five hours a night and I reached the lowest weight I had ever been at. I made it through, but the anxiety never really left but it seems to grab hold of what I'm fearing and just amplify it.  It came back full swing when the relationship with my boyfriend of four years ended abruptly last summer and the anxiety will not go away. I have this fear of ending up alone and never being with someone ever again. I'm only 23 and I know that sounds absurd but it truly eats away at me. I want to go out and do so many things but I don't want to do them by myself. It's like one moment I'm ready to take life by the horns and the next I get anxiety attacks over the thought of being alone.  Does anyone else have this fear? How do you cope with it?
