I always suffered from separation anxiety and had counselling when I was a teenager. It seemed to disappear for a while but now I am married it has returned, even worse. I can't be without my husband for a night, even thinking about it gives me bad panic attacks. He needs to go abroad in a few months, just for one night, and the thought of it has me crying, depressed and suffering all the regular panic symptoms. I am desperate to make him understand and cancel his trip, but on the other hand, I know I have to sort myself out.
I'm not sure how to go about gradually gearing myself up for it without panic. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks.
