does anyone have separation anxiety?

Hi @jamesle2015 and welcome. Many on here suffer from anxiety - do you feel anxious when separated from a significant other or when alone and feeling separated from others? Hope you are okay 😊

I got back from NZ cruise 3 days ago...

Some parts were ok but it was a bad experience - the group I was with

complained about my behaviour - need to be 'independent' blah blah blah

cook by yourself do shopping by yourself blah blah blah

inconsiderate people like to rattle about things they know very little about....

as though they know what it is like to be in my position

I am sure if they have agoraphobia, anxiety and separation anxiety would they behave this way?

I was with my Mum and this group is people we know - 2 of them we know for years and

the other 2 we don't know very well ....

I had to endure a few sessions of this

And they had a problem with my eating - wanted me to eat more and more and

accused my Mum of not feeding me at home

It's better to go on holidays with people who aren't like that

Hi @jamesle2015,

It can be really hard being around people who don't understand the things we struggle with. I'm sorry the people in your group weren't more considerate. 

I would be interested in hearing more about your experience of separation anxiety if you would like to share.

I have been 'separated' from my ADSL broadband...

Telstra needs to fix the line..

Our phone line stopped working then the ADSL stopped working ..

After several calls to our ISP over the last month they sent a few workers a couple of days ago to dig a hole in our

property to fix part of the line so it runs into our property ....but no connection as the external part of the line outside the

property needs to be done...

not sure when they will fix it...they told us end of the month

not sure when we will get NBN....

we need to get a refund from the ISP....

I have Optus wireless now..had to get it
