Hello all...I have been with my boyfriend for quite some time now. We spend everynight together and most days. Lately, whenever I have to go to work or leave him, I experience an extreme anxiety...I get extremely upset, cry over the dumbest things, become overly stressed, and the feeling never subsides until I'm with him again...Could this be separation anxiety? or could I just be crazy...

    I understand what you are saying. But it's not healthy the way you are acting. Just think about how great it will be when you see him after work :)

    You aren't crazy. Just self conscious and probably suffocating your boyfriend. Feeling anxiety like that means you need to devote some time to working on yourself before being in a serious relationship.

    U need to be able to see urself as an individual without him. Otherwise you WILL smother him... and bore him. Then more than likely he will start noticing other girls..

    The only thing I would add to the other comments is you need to make new friends. It's a normal progression for your childhood to move away and move on. Concentrate on developing new friendships. If you continue on your current path, you may find yourself without a boyfriend.

    My first day back at work was this bad for me too. It's not as bad anymore, but I do still miss my boyfriend like crazy while I work. :-(

    I agree with what savannah said, but I think you can also do this while being in your current relationship. It's just perhaps more difficult because you don't need to be as self-reliant.
