cant stay at home

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. It is a matter of changing your thoughts and behaviors. Different methods work for different people. Your options would be a Therapist, self help anxiety books and workbooks and group therapy.

If you find yourself in a panic attack, deeper breathing from your diaphragm works well as well as just rolling with how you feel rather than fighting it.

It takes time and patience to reprogram your thoughts from negative to positive and takes daily effort to achieve, but once you find what works best for you, your anxiety can become manageable and a fairly normal life can be expected.

Good luck and best wishes......WM

I can understand your not wanting to be home alone but for me it is hard to go out when I am feeling anxious and depressed so I want to be at home which is my "safe zone".

I would venture to guess that you are grieving the loss of your Mother as well as perhaps feeling some abandonment issue 2nd degree to her death. The loss of a significant loved one; a spouse, a parent, a sibling or a child, throws our entire world upside down, creating what feels like a crater-sized hole in our heart, that we often believe will never be filled again. I lost many loved ones including my parents, all 3 of my siblings and the biggest loss of all was the car crash that my son died in.  To this day I miss each of them as they cannot be replaced but look to the other important people in your life that are there for you and know it takes time to heal.

Perhaps grief counseling would help you with your feelings of fear at being home alone. 

Gentle Hugs,
