Separation Anxiety Support Group

I can't leave my pets for too long. I have a cat and a dog. The longest I've ever been away from them/home was a week. I hate going too far away too, that I can't get back fast or easily. This separation anxiety has really affected my life. I only could consider careers I could do close to home and since I live in a rural/small town area I wasn't left with much, especially when my interests were toward acting or something else in the entertainment field. The choice about what career to go for, what major etc. has been very difficult and I have gone through many majors. I spent a year sitting at home doing nothing after high school before going to the community college in town. After getting my Associates in Liberal Arts: Science I didn't want to go to college anymore because I hated it (not just because I was away from home). I stayed home doing nothing another year but this time I began hating that a bit too. I hated leaving and hated being there all the time. I'm back at college now, a different college, and have already on my 4th major within the few months I've been here. I live in an apartment 3 days a week because I only have classes 3 days a week. My college is only a half hour from my house so I am attempting to get rid of my apartment and move back home full-time as I don't like being away from home even that much.
