Do I need help?

Hi. When I was 8 years old my brother left home and he never come back. For a while I thought that he left because of me, but later I understood that I had nothing to do with him, hi decided to do that way and I never got to know the reasons.
I am 19 years old and I think I have a serious problem because I think that everyone I care abotu in my life, my boyfriend, my friend will live me like he did, without saying a word. That is my biggest fear and sometimes I don't know how to hande it. Sometimes when my boyfriend doesn't call me when he says he would I panic and I'm afraid that it is happening again. I'm so afraid to trust people.
No one knows about this fear I have, I always suffer in silence, no one knows what is happening to me and all I want is to cry it all out and to handle this fear who is stopping me to enjoy the precious time with the people I love.
I'm also afraid that I might need a psychiatrist and I need someone I could talk to to help me with this.

hi maggie
you dont need a psychiatrist for this. all you need is a therapist, much cheaper. a lcsw, mft, or psychologist are fine. you are sffering from abandonment issues and for a real reason. talking to a therapist could help you deal with that anxiety. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome

I strongly recommend you see a therapist. your issues are definitely not unfixable.
