I have seperation anxiety

[JenXO]

Starting over next month I am moving out on my own. I am anxious about being on my own of course and the feelings of loneliness I will be experiencing and the fact that I isolate so much but I need to keep myself busy in support groups and get a hobby I have no issue going out on my own. I have a cat who keeps me company she is actually laying right beside me right now. Don't get me wrong I have a bit of anxiety! I lived on my own before for college for a few months but I had a roommate but I am afraid of the being by myself being I have mental illness. I don't want a roommate and I don't have a boyfriend and I don't think I ever will have one so I don't know what to do about feeling lonely/isolated. I have no friends nor do I have anyone to talk to other than my family and I fight with them often times. I don't think I could live with anyone I am extremely moody and I need my space but I still get lonely from time to time.

Pets are a great comfort. I think you're wise to avoid a room mate, they only seem to add stress in my experience. As time goes on and you adjust you might find yourself feeling better about your living situation.

What you are feeling is quite normal to be honest. We tend to doubt ourselves and the knowledge we gained in order to cope with things. It is a big step, so it is normal to feel anxious, nervous or even hesitant about it. One thing to consider though, imagine the freedom you are going to experience! And if you feel lonely, there is always the lovely forum here to call upon :) Plus, if you need to talk, I'm always around to ;)

I have one already she is what helped me through thick and thin. I wouldn't be able to live with others as i have Bipolar Disorder so nobody would be able to put up with my extreme mood swings not even a partner LOL
