I've been feeling afraid when alone and no threat, too. I'm okay while myhusband is at work, but if he's late I start to panic. Or if he gets a call and has to leave. Tomorrow he has to help his nephew, who is also in the same line of work, and I'm already anxious about it. He said it shouldn't take but 5 minutes, but I'm already "what-if"ing it - what if he has to wait on his nephew first and it ends up being a long time?? Even on weekends when he sleeps in I'm nervous til he gets up. I'm always up way earlier. At the hospital with mom, she fell asleep, and my dad fell asleep in a chair nearby. I had come with dad. I almost had a panic attack. My heart was pounding and I got real hot and felt I was going to start crying and was shaking. Just anytime I feel alone.
