Recently I've noticed my anxiety gets worse when I am home alone. I have a WFH job currently, so it's not like I have nothing to do all day. But I feel like everyday I am just waiting in a state of anxiousness and intrusive thoughts until my partner gets home at 5pm. Like I am literally looking at the clock being like "oh my god it's only noon, how am I going to get through the rest of the day??" I've even noticed in the late hours of the afternoon, I feel my anxiety lessening because I know other people will be home soon. 

Is it normal for anxiety to flare up badly when you are alone? I used to live alone in university and I've never experienced these waves of anxiety like I do now. I guess I was going out though a lot more then....I know covid-fatigue is definitely one of the reasons, because I can't go anywhere and I live in the middle of nowhere with no car. But it just seems so overwhelming sometimes and I feel like I am going nuts somedays.
