Why would being bored scare me?

[AO111]

I did pretty good all day today without really having a panic attack. I did feel dizzy at times or my heart would speed up for seemingly no reason. (i think my dang adrenaline is stuck in on mode or something lol) I stayed calm though and tried not to panic. Although tonight when my Mom went to bed and I couldn't find anyone to talk to online I started to panic. I have things to do like read or watch TV but it's like I need someone to talk to. If no one is there I get panicky.

Boredom can cause anxiety for alot of us I think. When we stay busy we aren't as focused on our anxiety. Hang in there you'll beat this! Crossword puzzles in bed at night help me alot!

I'm always looking for someone to talk to.. I'm in that state of mind right now actually, feeling bored, alone and depressed.. but yet too anxious to leave my house!

I used to really enjoy my time alone. It makes you think too much.

Yeah and being alone usually doesn't bother me except in this hightened state of anxiety it does.

I have same problem. I feel really hard to stay alone. I must listen something to make me go to sleep as well.
