Does anyone else get an increase in anxiety when someone goes away? It’s worse when they are further away, or when they are away for a long time?
In this instance it’s the only person in the house I find any comfort in? What do you do about it?

This situation has reared it’s head again, with the people going away now for 3 days. I don’t know how to get over it. The 3 days of constant anxiety I have in store set me back every time, and I don’t know what to do about it.
So what feelings are going through your head when you are on your own in the house? Feelings which you only have when you are alone?
It’s really strange, it’s like I feel exposed. I’m constantly aware of how far away they are, and the fact they aren’t here. If they were 20 minutes down the road, it wouldn’t bother me being on my own, I spend an awful lot of time on my own.
It’s not even like I’ve ever avoided this situation, I sit and tolerate it every time, but it’s still continues to be a huge issue. Constant anxiety, I can’t sleep, and struggle to eat, every time they are far away.
Do you worry in case something untoward might happen to them during their time away, or do you worry that something untoward might happen to you whilst you're home alone, or both?
Anxiety focusing on what though? A general feeling of being unsafe/"untethered"? No on site reassurance should you need it/ "just in case"?
