So some may know I am recovering from a melt down. I have been very angry and irritable lately. Its been really hard. I have been managing my symptoms better, tonight is first night I could not sleep.

My partner is leaving out of town for a few days and not only is the timing horrible,but its the first time in our relationship we have been apart this long. We set up security cameras, I have my dogs, I know basic self defense, I should be good.

But I can't help but be terrified. I want him to go because it is the first time since we been together that he gets to visit his friends out of state. I planned a couple of activities to keep me busy during his leave, but can't help being worried.

I am so scared. I am trying to learn to communicate with people more and was thinking about mentioning my fear of being home alone to some friends, but I am scared to let anyone know I am going to spend the weekend alone. The predator may find out or any predator. I think I may need to take some sleeping aids to help me get through the weekend. I was actually very surprised my T did not mention sending me to the doctor to get some anxiety meds. Usaully when I get in these states I get prescribed anxiety med for situational anxiety, but not this time, maybe I will make an appointment for next week, I do not think I can get any before he leaves, I am going to have to settle for my anxiety relief.
 
Courage is not the absence of fear. The absence of fear is foolishness. Courage is the facing of fear.

May the weekend ahead bring you new faith in your own courage. Trust your instincts. Don't let your predators be in control of the situation.
