being home alone or going somewhere by myself

Post by Stephaniej » Mon May 14, 2012 4:26 pm

I don't know how I got here. I used to be incredibly independent. I lived alone hundreds of miles from home. All of a sudden I get anxious if my husband leaves and I feel like there's no way I can go somewhere like the store by myself. I want to get over this limitation. Anyone have any advice how to practice or ease my way into getting comfortable being alone???

I seem to do the same thing. I always tote one of my boys with me. Ive been slowly tried going down the road to the local store by myself and working my way up to grocery shoppin alone. almost there. At first I would smack on gum like a cow does hay. I always had water bottle. but now doing better cause I know nothing gonna happen Im gonna be ok. You will be ok!
