Adult Separation Anxiety: Struggling to Find Help

i definitely relate to this I had intense separation anxiety as a kid/teen and still struggle with it occasionally now but definitely not to the extent i used to… no advice for this though bc i just traded it for social anxiety :) sending good vibes ur way

I feel this so much. With me i have a bag that i take to work, and i keep a small stuffed animal in it that way if i start feeling bad or missing my partner, i can take it out and hold it. Bringing a small stuffie or a fidget toy can help keep your mind off of separation, i also can get very immersed in coloring and focused so if you hyperfixate easily, coloring could be a good distraction

Felt this and it actually makes me feel horrible. A friend I hung out with even called me "clingy" not in a horrible way or anything but more as an observation. I kept thinking about that over and over again because I suppose I am even though I try my best to not seem like it... I really don't know what to do about it as well, I'm an adult and I feel like I'm constantly tethered to my friends when I'm with them. Pulling away feels bad and being close makes me feel "clingy" which makes me feel bad as well. 😥
