So I’ve been in a good relationship for a while. Despite the issues with jealousy from my part and some other external issues we’re very happy. He’s my best friend and I love to be around him. I’ve never had that before. My other partners have seemed smothering to me and I’ve always needed a lot of alone time to function around them. This time it’s different. I forgot how to be alone and that being alone can be soothing and healing. 

Without my partner around I just don’t know what to do. I just wait for him to come back. I’m empty and anxious without him, obsessing and panicking.

What should I do? How do I find “myself” again?
