Alone Time

So I can't be left alone due to mental health problems (panic attacks when on my own too long) but I'm getting really agitated and annoyed recently because I haven't had alone time in well over a month. I literally don't know what to do lol. I need time alone but I can't be left alone? any suggestions on what might help?

Are you able to go for a bath? I like to take my laptop into the bathroom as well to watch a show whilst having a soak. Might be useful for you as you can vary the length of time you're in there so you're able to get out and go if needed x

You mentioned it's only when you are left alone for too long. Perhaps try just 10 minutes or what you think would be manageable. Do something that helps you relax, practice mindfulness, or something distracting like listening to music. Hope you have something that you know works for you to keep calm
