help with separation

[sadprincess]

hi

im new on hear and suffer from general anxiety and very bad panic attacks. i can manage most of the time and only take medication when i have a panic attack.

The thing is my husband is going away to china for 10 days soon and i get very bad separation anxiety. Im absolutely dreading it, im trying hard to reason it all
out and tell myself it will be ok. I have no other support.

I also suffer with being unable to be away from home so going on holiday together is impossible which is why i said for him to go, as its unfair that he has to suffer for me.

Was wondering if anyone any helpful suggestions, its the nights that i struggle with the days i usually manage.
thank you:D

Just a quick idea, but why not set up a ten day box with one real treat in it from your husband each day; chocolate, a letter to read etc. each day you'll have something to look forward to and focus on. Though you might have to put a time lock on the box :)

Or you could ask him to hide things from him to you around the house besides the traditional underwear and dirty socks!
