Anxious about being alone

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

The first time I moved from my parents' house to Bangalore I loved alone for 3 months and those were the worst of my life. I constantly had anxiety attacks and felt like I couldn't even breathe without trying hard. Then I got a roommate who I had been living with for 3 years but now she's moving out. I'm scared that I'll slip into that phase again. I just can't seem to be alone for too long. The same pattern reflects in my relationships. Why do I hate my own company so much?

Hey, it's okay to crave other people's company but you're going to have to learn how to be alone eventually if you don't want to be dependent. Why do you get anxiety attacks when you're alone? Is it because of some negative thoughts you have?

Start looking for a roommate online, you can post ads too. Anxiety attack is dangerous though so you need to find solutions for it. Do calming exercises and meditation, it'll also help your breathing. Also try to be s single for a while, it better than landing into unfulfilling relationships.
