I have a fear of being alone during the day after my husband goes to work. I try turning on the television for a distraction and sometimes it helps. Sometimes I get so scared that I make plans ahead of time to be a my parents or grandmas house. I just hate being alone, I don't know how to act. I have lupus and fibromyalgia, so I can't work. I have a cat, but they are only so much help...lol. Today wasn't too bad..I had my therapist appt. during the afternoon, then stopped to see my family then came home and baked pies for tomorrow. Also, put myself to work outside getting ready for the winter. I just hate the fears I get of being alone. I'm not afraid of harming myself. Just afraid. Does anyone have this? I also have the stupid OCD real bad. Checking things. Drives me nuts. The therapist says I'm way too hard on myself and I know it, but can't help it. Advice anyone?
