My husband decided to volunteer at another co op and to take on 5 classes each co op.which means I'll be home alone for up to 20 hrs a week. When I'm home alone in usually get Paranoid. I'm off my benzo which only makes me sleep through the day anyway. I understand that a couple extra dollars could help (if we make any) and I know he enjoys teaching but I'm just scared. That's one more day I have to worry about him. One more day I almost lose my ****. How do you cope being Paranoid and home alone?

What kinds of things have helped in the past? When my anxiety gets high, I look for ways to distract myself in some kind of project or sleeping for a while.

Clean your house ! Play with your dog . I know you don't like to go outside but your dog has needs.
Bake a cake, or dinner, play a video game Play around with makeup / hair styles . Call a friend, read a book. Look up cute animal picture sites , I mean who can't smile seeing a baby sloth or mini donkey babies So basically do everything you don't want to do!

Read. Watch a movie. Write something- start a blog. I didn't know you have a dog but since you do take it to the dog park. Fun!
