    I had the same problem when my anxiety first started. It will get better. I still feel that way once in a while. I use keep the tv on all night. Till after a while I couldn't sleep with noise. It's been 4 months since I started anxiety.

    Now getting dark earlier it is understandable.  I am always alone at night, live alone.  My depression always worse in the morning.

    You may have SAD.  I have read a light box helps.  Being alone makes me anxious and depressed and I think that is what is causing you problems.

    You look beautiful on that profile pic Em.

    We all have thoughts that won't leave us alone and cause anxiety.

    They fade in time. As the weeks go by and your depression lifts and anxiety eases,the thoughts will become less.

    It's lovely that you feel more secure when your boyfriend is around but it's also good for you,them times you are left alone..Like little tests where at the end of them you can think "yeh I did that"!!!

    Your gonna be ok chick. If them thoughts come,just relax with them. They are just thoughts. They can do no harm. 

    We are here for you xx
