News of Separation Anxiety Disorder

Hi there,

Really need some help. My husband goes down to see his family (they live in Eastbourne and we live in Farnborough) and it really upsets me no matter how long he goes down there for, as I hate being alone and not having him with me all the time. I continuously cry everyday until the day he comes back and I struggle to sleep and also eat. He tells me that I’ll be ...

I'm not sure exactly what separation anxiety really is, because from what I've read, most examples talk about babies being separated from their parents.

For me, it used to center around my youngest brother after my parents adopted, but now it is around another child that I've become close to.

When I was almost 15, my parents took in a couple foster children that we ended up adopting two years later. For a year and ...

Hi everyone!
I was diagnosed with ASAD a few days ago, so I thought signing up to a forum might help me manage things.
I've been in a relationship with the most amazing guy for the past three years, but I can't let him go anywhere or do anything without his phone on him. If he doesn't answer his phone, I get panic attacks, crying fits, and severe spells of aggression. I'm having counselling to ...

Man, this week has been evil. I got into numerous awkward conversations with members of the opposite sex. I hate it when people who obviously dislike me, talk to me. This co-worker chick wanted me to tell another crazy story. So, I told her about the time I got naked in front of everyone at a slumber party and stuck fruit roll ups up my butt and let the dogs eat it out. Then it ...

I know it sounds pathetic but I'm 21 years old and I still live with my parents. Every time my mother leaves for hours, I get really anxious and I slide down the pulse lane. I also become really weak and introverted. She's my goddess and I got to take care of her. There's a metaphysical artery between us and when she dies, I'm probably going to eat some of her so I can have ...

I have been in an off and on relationship with a partner whom I love very much for over eight years now. Two days ago, they got in a car to drive to Texas so they could embark on a six months to a year trip sailing around the world.

I want to be happy for him. I want to support him.. but the moment he hugged me to say goodbye I broke down, I ...

It cannot be so much easier for your kid if you are living your kid with the baby sitter or living him or her in the daycare. When you leave your kid away from you for the first time, you may feel much bad. The same or much worst feeling may be experienced by your kid. It is important for you to help your kid get out of this situation gradually so that your kid ...

If there is anyone currently suffering from this it would be awesome if you could talk to me about a few things, the last couple of days have been mind hindering and it would be nice to speak with someone who also has this disorder. Any feedback is greately appreciated. Thank you.
