I am so sorry. My brother is leaving for college soon and I don't know how I'm going to handle it. It's hard. I know that. Where she's going, can you call her? I'd say just to not wallow, try and distract yourself from the fact that she's gone. Talk to her when you can, and work on other things when you can't.

Sorry if this doesn't help, but I hope it does.

thank you so muchfor your support. It is hard I hate it. I will try my best to distract myself. Yes I can talk to her and I know she will call me. Just not sure how I can do it, but I guess I HAVE TO. That's the thing, you have all the anticipatory anxiety and then the actual time to face it... SO YOU END UP HAVING TO TWICE (LOL)... Amazing thing this anxiety. Of course my anticipation is terrible today, as she leaves tomorrow. Pray for me and I will let you know how I do and perhaps assist you when your brother leaves for college. Thank you for responding I do appreciate so so much

SO sorry to hear about your anxiety about your sister leaving for a week.
Possible things to do: can you line up some activities for each day that she will be away - eg. places to go, friends to meet outside the house/in your house. I find it helpful to have a schedule of activities
so I can look forward to particular things coming up.
Get yourself some treats - flowers, cookies, make appointments to phone friends at particular times each day your sister is away.
I hope these thoughts help.

Thanks to all that sent their support UPDATE: I DID GREAT... THE ANTICIPATION WAS WORSE THAN THE TIME AWAY.. SHE WAS ALSO DELAYED RETURNING HOME BECAUSE OF THE SNOW ... I STAYED WITH A FRIEND AND NO ANXIETY. SHE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS PETRIFIED, SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IT. I JUST ASKED TO STAY FOR OTHER REASONS. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER THAT I DID IT. HOPE THE CONFIDENCE STAYS!
