Navigating Separation Anxiety

Finding myself struggling with separation anxiety after my boyfriend and I decided to take a break. It’s been really difficult to cope with the feelings of fear and loneliness that arise when we’re not together. I’ve been trying to focus on self-care and staying connected with friends and family, but it’s still a daily struggle. I know that seeking professional help is important, and I’m considering reaching out to a therapist for support. It’s okay to feel this way, and I’m trying to remind myself that it’s a process. I’m hopeful that with time and support, I can find peace and security within myself, regardless of my relationship status. I’m open to any suggestions or experiences from others who may have dealt with similar feelings of separation anxiety. Thank you for listening.
