I have suffered from anxiety take Klonopin and feel down now after a week of anxiety. I take naps and wake up and feel awful and feel like i am losing it. I played golf today and played good and didn't feel that bad during the round but when home i live alone feel terrible. I have no clue what to do. Help

I find anxiety seems worse when alone. Try to have more friends around and stay busy. When you are alone you tend to think obsessively. If that doesnt work try getting into a good book!

Never understand it. I am the same way. I can have fun. Be cheerful but the minute I am alone I don't feel good at all. Happens often. I have to stay busy but sometimes I want to just relax and have a hard time doing that. My therapist is helping me with learning how to relax. Its amazing to me that I really do not know how to really relax and just be with me. Being alone in my thoughts is a place I hate being. This one is a hard one for me too. All I can offer to you is that I understand and hope that you are able to rest tonight. Hang in there.

I am the same way too. I can also have fun but find increased anxiety being alone. Like I am missing out and wasting time/life. But I am trying to force myself lately to get used to the idea of being alone. Mostly by doing home activities when I have nothing else going on such as chores, planning out my week, budgeting, crafting/home projects, setting new personal development goals and mapping out how I will accomplish them. That way my mind is occupied when I am home and I can appreciate when the task is complete and I have a moment to rest. I also find a nice hot bath or shower really helps me to relax for a moment when I am home.

I hope you will soon find what will make being alone more comfortable for you. Sometimes it's just trial and error but you have to at least try.
