Understand this so well! I am a total homebody. It's what makes me happy. I can get physical symptoms of homesickness when I am away too long! It is hard for me to be away from my boyfriend and my furry-child (dog). Had an out of town engagement lasting 2 1/2 months, and I have to say it was HARD. Luckily I was working most hours I was awake, but when I wasn't I nearly fell apart! I have been in college for over four years now, and being away from family has been difficult as well. I have GAD, but I don't know if that is a common issue related to it or not.
