I'm new to all of this and as you can see from the other boards I'm scared and confused and I don't really know what's going on with me and no one seems to care except my mom.
I follow her around constantly and I have for almost 4 weeks straight... day in and day out with my mother. I know it sounds pathetic, but I'm SO scared to be by myself. And being around my mom is just comforting to me.
I decided I would tell my mom and step dad that I wanted them to go out for the evening just to get away and have some fun(I know they need some time away from me for awhile). Well now I'm more miserable than I have been. They haven't even left yet and I'm already scared to death to be here by myself. I'm not having a good day at all... I don't know how much longer I can take this, this,... whatever it is.

I know what it feels like to be that frightened of being alone, but you will get through it, I promise! This messageboard is great with lots of helpful people. I'm assuming you're in the US. In Britain we have a free 24-hour counselling line you can call if you really need to hear someone's voice called The Samaritans. Do they have that where you are? YOU'LL BE OKAY! xxx

Jennifer,
I don't know a great deal about you, but I know what it is like to be frightened and alone. It is good that you have someone you can trust. An evening without her though can help you gain the confidence that you can count on yourself when you need to.
You didn't explain a great deal of what is troubling you, or whether you are receiving professional counseling or psychiatric help. Please don't feel afraid of these things. People such as these have truly saved countless lives, and mine is one of them. I quite literally wouldn't be here without psychiatric and psychotherapy help. If you are having symptoms that are preventing you from living your life, this sort of help is something you might want to consider. Please don't be afraid of it.
If you have any other questions, please ask. There are many people here who know much more than I, but I am willing to help however I can.
Take care of yourself tonight, and find satisfaction in the fact that you made it through.
Dee.
