Hi jp4life87,
It can feel scary going home to an empty house, but try to look at it differently. You can enjoy the peace and quiet. You can watch whatever you wish on television. Maybe take a nice hot bath and then relax on the couch with something warm to drink. Try to do whatever would make you feel more secure and comfortable.
Remember that you are okay. Even if you're feeling anxious or feel a panic attack creeping up on you, just use your tools and breath and stare the feelings in the face and tell them to be gone because you are in control now. You will be alright. You are strong and able to do this. Change your fearful thoughts. Remind yourself that these are only thoughts and insist upon thinking of the good parts of having the house to yourself tonight.
Good luck. You can do it!!!! I believe in you.
