I’m going through a “flare-up” so to speak with my health anxiety and have had two panic attacks in four days. My partner has been away since the 10th, and being alone makes it so much worse. I constantly think something will happen to me (medically) and no one will be around to help if I need an ambulance. 

It’s a vicious cycle, because I then feel like my mental health depends on others and that’s not fair to them. 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to not be triggered by being alone for an extended period of time? I cannot be constantly surrounded by people 24/7 so I need to find a healthy coping mechanism. Any thoughts are appreciated!
