How to get over the fear of being left alone?

Q: I have always had a fear of being left. When I was little I was left by my father, and I have developed this irrational fear of being left. How can I get over my anxious thoughts. I am an upcomming senior in high school, and I am starting to feel like I have my own decisions to make- and I need to let go of my fear. I feel completely helpless sometimes, and I want to grow up and get over my fear. Thanks

How does someone overcome an extreme fear of abandonment and being left alone?

Q: Rooted very early in childhood and persisting into adulthood. Causes anxiety, depression and rage.

A: I can relate to your problem, I to have battled abandonment issues most of my life. I do not have an easy “fix”. I have been through counseling (I’m not sure it helped all that much) and a lot of soul searching. For me, most of the men I have been with have only fueled the insecurities. The best thing I have found to handle the problem is a stable relationship with an trustworthy man. I wish I had a “magic potion” for you, I know how “crazy” it makes you feel. Just hang in there and hang on, “a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step”. Good luck.

i have a fear of being left home alone for more than an hour?

Q: i have this fear, i been to the thrapist , but he cant figure it out , after 2 hurs alone i start to panic , what does it mean , what can i do

A: You might have a phobia of some sort. Psychologists recommend “desensitization.’ You do it by exposing yourself, a little step at a time, to your source of phobia, until such time when you no longer have the phobia. If you’re scared of being home alone for more than an hour, try to be alone and do enjoyable things for an hour, then for an hour and a half, then for two hours, and so on and so forth, until such time that you no longer harbor any fear of being left home alone.
