I was diagnosed Separation Anxiety Disorder as a kid, but sadly it never died out in my adulthood. Many years in therapy and support by some people have helped me overcome some of the obstacles. Though I still get anxious then panicky if someone said they would be home at _:_ time, and they are an hour or two late. I will call a few times until they pick up the phone. I know it is annoying to them, but I try not to do it so often.
What you are going through should be discussed with your T. He/She should work on the necessary planning and steps on minimizing your discomfort when separated.
By the way, does anyone ever say, "Oh she/he just misses people a lot." when describing your disorder? Ugh.
