Does anyone else...?

[Princess Daisie]

I get scared when my Daddy falls asleep before me because I'll be up for hours alone and by myself. My Daddy usually holds me and strokes me til he knows I'm sleeping.

 

Does anyone else get super scared when they're alone by themselves for a while? Why am I like this???

No one else can know why you get scared this way. If it's causing you problems, then maybe you need to explore this more and try to solve it.

Have you tried snuggling with a favourite plushie? Or even a hot water bottle for comfort. Or reading a book. Or whatever might distract you from worry and/or comfort you?

Or if you're having trouble sleeping at normal times, maybe you need to look at caffeine intake, or activities before bedtime.

We don't really have enough info to help you much, sorry.

 

 

Frankly, if someone can't spend time on their own without being scared, I'd say that's a big problem.

 

We all get lonely or a bit nervous or anxious etc. If it's affecting someone's life, or causing actual fear, then I'd recommend doing something about it. Nothing wrong with being needy. There is something wrong with not being able to manage at all on your own.

Probably nothing wrong with saying you wish him success at work but also you're nervous about the change in circumstances.  I'm not sure if he's starting a new job or what the situation is, but anyway this is maybe a time he needs your support & encouragement.

 

The last guy I dated worked 12 hour shifts, including overnight shifts, and wouldn't get a day off for 10 days or more sometimes. And I'm clingy!

We made the most of things. There were lots of texts and phone calls at random hours, and seeing him when he had time off. I used to send him video messages or photos - it made me feel closer to him, and he loved receiving them, so it was nice for both of us. Maybe you could do something like that?

 

If you're scared of being alone ... find things to do! Keep busy, distract yourself, put the television or radio on to keep you company. Draw a picture to show your Daddy when he gets home. There's lots of stuff you can do on your own.
