Hate living on my own sometimes

Hope

On the one hand I like it  - the peace, solitude and quiet, allowing me to read my books without distractions and to have control over my life. On the other hand, however,  I get so homesick and anxious, and sometimes find it unbearable being alone, all by myself, with no company. I miss my parents and brother when I am alone, and it makes me more obsessive, sometimes to the point of panic.

Being alone makes me nervous, even though I like my own space. When with my parents, I retreat to my bedroom most of the time, but their presence is reassuring.

At the moment I am feeling sad, deflated, anxious, stressed and uncertain. I spent Christmas with my parents; now I am home alone at my flat.

  • Hope, I have the same problem, planning to get a welfare phone every so often from someone I trust(autism specialist worker) and as my so called family are do not understand my condition nor care. So at least when my crisis emerge,, I have told someone safe, that will reduce my anxiety. If I told my outside family members then just are unsensitive and splash in my puddle so to say, not calm the waters.
