In a few days I will be leaving for an induction. I will be leaving my 2 year old son in the care of his grandmother. I do not want to leave, just the thought makes me cry. When I drop my son off anywhere even for a few hours, I tear up. I get upset when my husband leaves for a few days. I cry so much I almost throw up. I have this fear that I will never see these people again. I have a fear that I will be alone forever if they leave.
A place to come to ask and answer questions from others on mental health and relationship issues.

Hi there MommaC,
Yes it does appear you have separation anxiety. I would suggest talking to a therapist when you can.
A good suggestion for you is to try relaxation techniques, such as breathing, walking, and meditation.
Best,
Clyde
