I have an 11 year old son who has rarely spent the night away from home.  (He did stay at familys once or twice throughout the years.)  Point is I am not used to being alone.  Between my son, mother, sister and her kids someone is always around. 
Well my son has gone over to his fathers this weekend for the first time and I dont know what to do.  Im already anxious and I still have the whole night to go.

I complain so much that I just want some alone time. I'm happy when I get it for one night, but anything more than that and I go nuts. Seems like nothing satisfies my loneliness. I can never find something to watch on tv. Nothing ever seems to be going on on the internet. No friends are ever home. So, I just end up getting depressed, missing my family, and going to sleep.

I kind of feel that way now but Im anxious.  I think my anxiety is coming from the PTSD.  I usually have someone else I am supposed to be caring for so now Im just lost.

If I am alone, sometimes I find it hard to cope too :-(

  Being alone is hard for me, there is always someone around for me to look to if I start to feel funny which is very comforting. DJ works from home, and he really started to do that so he could be around for me and our son. It has been the best thing for me and our family. I don't know how well I would be coping if he wasn't around all the time. I need to feel protected from the world[although when manic I feel like I could rule the world!]. I wonder how I would do on my own...I'm not sure if I would freak out or not.

Last night I was able to sleep and didnt have any hallucinations or major depression.  Tonight my sister and her girls will be here.

Made it through the weekend and the wellbutrin the doc has put me on seems to be helping.

Now I know I'm not alone in feeling lost when I have time to myself. Just used to having kids or someone around.
