Panic attacks can happen even when your not thinking about or undergoing anything stressful. Ive had them when I was just sitting here normal. Its good that you understand that your boyfriend cant be there for you all the time. But that just means that you have to learn to be alright on your own. Just try and do things when your alone that get your mind off actually being alone. Try not to think about it as much. If this becomes an ongoing problem, maybe you should be put on medicine that would eliminate this problem. Or hopefully it will subside on its own. Hang in there! xoxo

Try going out for fresh air so you won't feel so lonely or somewhere like a park. Search things on you're computer or chat with someone.I used to have asthma when I was like nine years old and my mom's boyfriend helped me and I thank him for that. He would lay me down and sometimes I needed the window closed.Or buy magazines to read or newspaper or book to read thats what I do when I nothing to do.Hope you're feeling better!

I would try ,if your home alone, try to watch a movie and do wat I do, yell at the stupid people who do stupid things in the movie. If ur outside and alone, try having a conversation in your head. Like try remembering a conversation u had w/ your b/f a few days ago, or try talking to yourself in your head. I know it sounds retarded and stupid, but I have that same problem, I can't stand to be alone. I talk to myself in my head about things I'm currently debating in my life. It helps, it really does. Hope this helped.

When you feel yourself starting to get upset and can't talk to your boyfriend, grab a piece of paper and write down what you're feeling. Most of the time simply getting the feelings out in the open, either by talking or writing them, will help. You can also try deep breathing exercises or distracting yourself with something (tv, computer, exercise, etc) when you feel the anxiety coming.

If it continues and you can't seem to control it, I would talk to your parents about it. Sometimes our hormones can get a little off balance and a checkup by the doctor may be in order.

You should talk to a doctor because this sounds serious. They have medication for this type of stuff. They also have methods you could use to help yourself in these situations.

Being alone,

I think many of us can understand your problem. That's what the whole issue with all of us is when we are kids. It's not darkness that scares us, but being alone in the dark. I'm not saying you're necessarily scared, but it could be. Humans, by nature, are sociable creatures. That's how God made us. God said of Adam, "it is not good for man to be alone." So He created Eve. If you are a believer in Christ, remember that He has promised never to leave or forsake you. That means you're never alone!! If you're not a believer, I'd be more than happy to share more with you. Just let me know. Hope this helps.

Awe, this has to be really hard. Are you alone very often? Why exactly is it that you can't be alone? Are you worried that something might happen to you, or your family who isn't with you rite now? I think that being alone every once in a while is a good thing. I think the best thing for you is to just be alone sometimes, b/c once you get used to it I'm sure you won't mind it as much. but if you are totally and completely against that idea, have the people (your family) who are away from you carry a cell phone, in case of emergencies (such as you having a panick attack), or just in case you have a question, or any type of problem. i'm sure you could also call one of your friends, or have them over while your family isn't there. get a job babysitting! that way you have someone to be around (if it happens to be at the right time) i think you might have a phobia, but it also could just be a phase..b/c i was like that before! Good Luck!

I think you should download aim. Then whenever you feel alone just get online and talk to your friends. This might make you feel better.

i think its something you should mention to your parents and doctor when you go for your checkup..i also think this is something that can be worked out . if your parents understand your problem maybe they will let you have a friend or two over.
-have friend over
-call a friend or bf or relative
-have relative over
-go to a neighbors house
-go out somewhere with friends

if you do those activities while home alone, hopefully you will feel better and it will help

Hmm it sounds like something you should talk to your bf and your parents about. Try hanging out with your friends whenever you are home alone or calling people. Hope things work out and feel better. Good Luck!
