It has hit me right out of the blue...took my son and dropped him off at a daycare cause he asked to go and as soon as he got out of the car....i wanted him to change his mind and get in the car and go back home with me..*kids r out of school for MLK* and then i felt like calling my husband and telling him to leave for the rest of the day and come home with me...it was overwhelming....i have no idea where or why i felt like i had to be around one of them

I went through those kinds of feelings of needing my family around me too. I think it most likely has to do with all of the things that are so overwhelming that we get to deal with because of these infections. Insecurities generally come out when we feel threatened, and I definitely have felt threatened during different parts of my infections!

Unfortunately, you must allow your hubby to go on to work each day and your son needs to go to school as well - even though we may feel like we need them to be home with us more. Hold them tight in a bear hug when they get home, and be sure to let them both know how much you love them! Don't forget to let them know how much you appreciate them being there with you! Remember it's hard on them to watch us go through this!

Are you taking anything for anxiety? If this keeps up, I would encourage you to talk it over with your LLMD.

It just hit me I was having this a lot before I was diagnosed.. Hard to admit for a big tough guy! I was feeling very alone every time I was by myself.. Its nice to have some answers for all the emotional nonsense I have been going through the last couple years.

I'm with you, inhim, I am a big tough Guy too. But I developed like a form of agoraphobia. Crazy. I think both the separation anxiety and agoraphobic reactions have something to do with lyme's ability to affect neurotransmitter function. For me, it has always eventually resolved itself in the past. But, like any such dysfunction, you ate better off continuing as best ad possible in a normal daily schedule as Traveler implies. Otherwise, the harder it gets to overcome ....
