advice appreciated please

[juls]

hi im new to this web site and not familiar with how to use it at the moment. Ive suffered with anxiety for many years and at my worst had agroaphobia. Ive worked hard at over coming my problems over the years with the help of a cbt course and reading self help books. its not been easy but worthwhile.

Ive come to the realisation today that ive relied on family to support me more than i should have and hadnt realised i was doing so. My husband is going to work away next week and my daughter has gone on holiday. I feel anxious, panicky and tearful cos i feel im not as able to cope as i thought i was, im worried cos all the old feelings and negative thoughts have returned.

I would welcome any advice on how to cope thank u.
