Well, I am posting here because I did a search on google and came up with this site.. I don't have full-blown panic attacks when I'm alone, but I get -extremely- nervous, to the extent of crying and being unable to do anything for 20-30 min at a time, when I'm alone. I've never had this problem before.. I'm currently a junior in college, and in high school I was fine. As an only child with 2 working parents I spent a LOT of time alone. Now I'm at college, and I've had the same roommate for 3 years. This year I'm staying at school over Thanksgiving break. As soon as my roommate left I semi-panicked, cried, and now I'm just incredibly nervous. I walk out into the hall of the dorm and there is absolute silence. Not a sound. And I've only been alone for about 4 hours. The thought of the next 4 days scares the hell out of me. What is this?? Do I have a fear of being alone or something else? (The thought of staying here for break had me crying last night too).. and I don't usually cry/get extremely upset about things.
Confused.. and upset. Posting to keep my mind off things mostly I think, so sorry if this doesn't make any sense!
