I've pretty much always hated being by myself, but in the past year (since we moved) its worse. I can hardly force myself to do anything, like even clean or cook, unless my husband is home . I'm pretty much OK when I'm with family and friends, too. When I'm home by myself, I just want to lay around and do nothing . I can't handle being alone! Am I really that codependent??? I know this can't be normal, for my happiness to depend completely on others.
Idk y I get really really depressed being by myself . Does anybody else have this problem?

As for me, I am alone all day every day. I find that if I don't plan something for the day, an activity, a project, etc. than yes, I will lay around in the bed all day long.
I won't even leave the house. I need a plan and structure to avoid those kinds of days. It only adds to the loneliness, depression and anxiety. It's very easy to get depressed when you are alone, unless you have a plan and a structure for the day -
I take a walk, I call friends on the phone, I do reading, projects, hobbies, and get out of the house every day.

I have this problem too to some degree. Being alone is always a problem for me because I was alone during both of my PTSD events. And then that feeling that you're completely alone when you're standing in a group of people. That one is just horrible too.
But you can know that when you feel alone, you always have us!
