fear of being alone
Posted: 08-05-08 21:39pm

I just needed to write this down somehwere or have someone understand where I am right now - Its fine if you don't; I don't understand myself sometimes.
I'm 22 - and recently I have these strange fears that everyone is simply going to leave me no matter what I do, even family and friends - its worse with my boyfriend. Whenever I find myself alone even if its for a few hours I panic - I want to call everyone and see if they're okay and when they don't pickup or return my calls I panic and blame it on myself
- I tell myself that my friends won't call me because I'm boring and stupid. If my boyfriend doesn't pick up I tell myself its beause he's cheating on me and he's found someone prettier or smarter than me and he's probably happier without me. I usually find myself useless untill I see or hear from my friends/boyfriend when I typically "perk" back up but after a few hours i go back into worrying again.
I hate this no matter how I try to distract myself or talk myself out of this irrational fears it never works and I'm so sick of crying by myself that I can't stand it. - thank you for reading even if no one can help

well im 21 and i dont understand myself a LOT of the time so your not alone there. I think everyone at one point in their life has not understood themselves.
I worry like you said sometimes also, not as much so idk exactly what your going through but i have a little idea. i know you probably do but what i find that helps is telling myself that they are busy at work or in the shower and will get back to me when they can. also i try and go online to see if anyone is on MSN,Yahoo,AIM or anything so i can know everyone is not gone.
i worry about little things a bunch also, im starting to work on it by telling myself "everything will work out in time, there is no reason to worry about little things" its starting to work. cuz its not good for you to stress or worry about little thing.
well i dont know if that helped any but i tried.
if you ever want to talk feel free to PM me!
take care

i know exaclty how you feel. ive actually had more than one person-family members included leave me--now its imprinted in my brain that no matter what i do people will always leave me and that its no use making friends because they will just stab you in the back and leave. I spend most of my time alone, or working. its sad. I know people arent gone but to me it seems like they are.

if you want to talk you can pm me

I want to thank you for replying to my original message. Things actualy got a little worse today, when I told my boyfriend how i feel the discussion eventually would down to us breaking up, He feels that I ought to be able to find someone who can be there more for me. I don't know what to do, we've been together for three years and I can't picture myself without him and as depressed as i am over this i find myself panicking even more, what if I never find anyone else - its hard enough to meet people but he's the only guy I've ever liked - I was blown away when he asked me out... i don't know I'm so miserable right now and i can't even get a hold of my firends to talk to them - I'm all alone

well we are here for you--if you ever need to talk im just a click away.

is there a way that your bf can make more time for you? i think that would help. if he gave you and extra 30 min a day would that help?
