Hiya I am new on here!
I have been suffering with anxiety for a bout 2 months now, but i also had a bout about 2 years ago just after i found my dad died, which lasted about 4 months. i am hoping that it does not last that long this time!
At the moment i am petrified of being alone and not being able to cope. does anyone have any straragiesfor coping? :oops:

when my anxiety started i never suffered that symptom but after a month or so i never wanted to be left alone in the house, so any time my partner was wanting to go out to the shops etc, i always tagged along, it only lasted a few weeks though. she started going out maybe to the shops for maybe 30 mins and then gradually i was ok being left alone again. its not a nice feeling but hopefully it will pass like it did with me.

perhaps try going for a walk, or maybe getting more interets, hobbies, basically things to take your mind of anxiety.

hopefully i make sense and good luck :goodjob:

Thanks Davie, I will give it a go.
I have actually had a quite sucessfull if not scary two days as my mum has had to go back to work!!
I have been on my own for 12 hours a day but I have hidden away in my bed for most of it. but i guess it is a start.
