hi maggie
you dont need a psychiatrist for this. all you need is a therapist, much cheaper. a lcsw, mft, or psychologist are fine. you are sffering from abandonment issues and for a real reason. talking to a therapist could help you deal with that anxiety. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
