I get major anxiety quite often. Like tonight my boyfriend was lwaving to go and hang out with a friend and my chest became very heavy and I couldn't breath. Also, I was crying uncontrollably. I don't know why I do this!!!!

Hang in there.  I used to have similar fears.  Then learned how to be calm and ok with being alone.  It took time, and encouragement from my daughter.  Meds help.  Check in with doc.

I get the same reaction when my kids leave to school or my husband leaves for work. I find that I'm by myself- i hate it - it is so paralyzing I don't even get anything done. then on top of that I have guilt for putting my family thru - like they can't leave me alone. I told a couple friends and then I told my doctor. It's a panic attack d/t depression (which comes in all weird forms) I've been on meds and it has helped a LOT. I have more control of my emotions. Talk to somebody!! talk to your doctor.  there is help out there. good luck.
