...See more Hi everyone, I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this before but I was wondering if anyone here has had some experience with this and had any tips to overcome it. I have a diagnosis of General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) however the more I am looking into my anxiety I think it is more like Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD).I have struggled with being away from my Mam since I was 3 years old. This continued until I met my partner at university. I would be terrified of being away from my Mam, begging her not to leave me, getting very distressed when I was away from familiar places and would be worrying all the time that something bad would happen to her when I wasn't with her. Since I've been with my partner, my attachment issues have transferred onto him. My partner likes to travel a lot, which causes a huge amount of distress for me when he is away. I get really bad panic attacks at night and I would cry uncontrollably until he would come back, making myself really ill . It's starting to cause a lot of problems within my family as I keep phoning them in the middle of the night to come to my house due to panic attacks. Has anyone been through anything similar or has any tips on how I can control this?
