Generally I get real paranoid and suicidal left alone especially at night Hell I don't do well when there's people here but sleeping. I feel stupid saying this as it should be no big deal. My husband got me a dog years ago so I could be alone at times. We've built our lives around our issues and now we're starting to face that. I'm preemptively scared and doesn't help my dark thoughts.

Try and schedule activities and chores for the times you will be alone, idle minds do tend to travel dark paths.
Maybe use those times to teach your dog new tricks ?? He will adore the attention and it will keep you in the present.
I’m addicted to a dog named Tucker Budzen on YouTube. I’m not sure if you have seen any of his videos but they are hilarious. Check him out
