    Yes, my worst fear is being alone. In all situations you mentioned. I had 6 children thinking I would never be alone. They are all grown and living their own lives. Husband only comes home late at night to sleep. I am in therapy right now to try to deal with this.

    Insecurity, probably going back to an incident in your childhood such as getting separated from you parents on an outing, a family loss or feeling isolated when you were a child.

    All totally curable with counselling.

    Hi Tanya,

    I feel that way when I go through what I call an anxiety crisis and a certain state of mind that I am still yet to explain.  Therapy can help and keeping busy.
