Why am I so scared when I'm alone?
If i can’t see another person, or can’t hear another person, i am really scared. Tonight at work, i had to clean the washrooms, and it took me like 20 minutes to get the courage to do so, because i would be there alone, with no one around to hear. I was really actually scared. And when i sleep, i have about 20 pillows, that way i feel like some one is there with me, and when i am actually sleeping over at a friends in the same bed, i cling to them and I don’t let them go while i am sleeping. No matter if i am at home and i am alone, or at school in the washrooms alone, i can’t stand it! I freak out! I will seriously, when i am home alone, in the middle of the day, make my dog come with me every where in the house so that i am not alone. Is there any reason why i am so scared to be left alone?
This sounds like a pretty serious phobia, monophobia maybe. Maybe you could try therapy to find out if this has anything to do with your past or just find out exactly why this is going on. There could be several reasons to this phobia. In the mean time cling to someone you trust and continue to do what you are doing.
I got a friend named Jenny and she had the same problem, so much so she could barely sleep and she had panic attacks whenever she was away from home. It got so bad that meeting new people would frighten her and night terrors were creeping in along with her ever growing insomnia. There was an underlying reason for all this, but it did take time for her to understand it. Her parents were in the process of getting a divorce and her mom was to controlling and dominated her way too much. I did give her a suggestion that seemed to help with her night terrors and insomnia, but the issues with her mom were out of my control. Has something happened in your life recently that has concerned you? Some dramatic or traumatic event that recently happened?
no, not really. Like i don’t have bad dreams, i don’t think i ever dream at all and i’m not scared of meeting new people, and i can go 3 weeks being away from home every summer to go to a friends place. This fear i guess, has been slowly developing over the years because i remember always bringing my sister around our old house as kids, never being alone. So what ever it is, its not resent
sooo, looking it up on line, the Monophobia, the one page gives ideas of what some causes are. And i think I have it down to 2 options. Either the ‘ your scared something bad will happen if your alone’ one because when i am alone i am so jumpy at everything and i hide when i can. OR the ‘never learned to be comfortable by yourslef’ option, because i was always with my twin as a kid. So reading up on it is making like, alot of conections :s
