When I’m working with someone and they leave for a moment, I panic. Left with a job I feel I can’t do alone.

I’m not sure how abandonment affects people, but it definitely affects pets. We’ve always taken in rescues except for our first cat which we had since a kitten. That cat was so relaxed and kind and loving compared to the couple rescues we got later, which were generally skittish and easily scared.
My sister has that.
Anyways, I started feeling abandonment when I got sick and lonely from schizophrenia. Mine is from fear of my parents leaving or dying or hating or judging me and lack of girlfriends, but im not codependent. Its just the last 10 years with the horror of schizophrenia. Its normal in my case.
My parents love me and treat me right. My dad can be a dick though lol.
It stems from not being able to survive and take care of myself.
I used to be strong and independent. I wanted to take charge of my life and had opportunity, intelligence, and high drive. Not anymore!

Do you have anxiety? When I feel really anxious, I start to feel this way. Like I’ll be left to myself and not know what to do. I take Ativan and it’s helped me so far.
I have anxiety some but this is different. This is just, like I said, the fear of a helpless baby.
