I dont know what she was doing.
I'd say it's faded some throughout the years but I used to have a big problem with this as a child. Whenever I was separated from my mother I would be very upset. I remember we were in Cali and she had to go someplace so she left me at this camp..place and when she visited after a few days I stayed in our cabin across the way crying and the other girls stood outside singing for me to come outside because they could hear me crying and screaming really loud. But my mom wouldn't let me stay w her
Also I used to have this at school. I had to see the guidance counselor in elementary school because my teacher saw my face was turning bright red in class and I was holding back tears and if I tried to talk I'd start crying. Then the other kids made fun saying I was having an affair with the guidance counselor, Mr Gregory
I still have that feeling to an extent but I don't feel as attached to my mother anymore because of things that have happened I guess.
But I have separation anxiety with my boyfriend. Sometimes I feel like I can't do things without him there, and he works all day most everyday. And I feel anxiety over something and just wish he could be there to console me. It feels the way I used to feel when I couldn't stand being away from my mom.
I still feel it to an extent with my mother, but I feel like she's changed, she's not as an affectionate person as she was or something before.
I'm glad its gotten somewhat better at least in regards to your mom. That sucks! For me especially right now if I didn't have my dad to be here when my moms at work I'd go crazy :/ I hope it gets better for you. I'm sorry to hear that about your mom, I don't know what I'd do if my mom stopped being so affectionate. Have you actually been diagnosed with it? Just wondering *shrugs* Thanks for replying! 
Oh wow! Like I said my mom always did stuff for me and going to school was fine even though I didn't like going
I think I may have separation anxiety. My mom has always pretty much done everything for me and not being much of a people person (SA) I've come to pretty much spend all my time with my mom and dad, and now being alone is terrifying that and the idea of growing up and moving out. Does this sound like seperation anxiety, and if so does anyone else have it? It'd be nice to talk to someone who does cause I really think I have it
I had that as a child. Bawled my eyes out when my brother started school, and when mum left me at kindergarten.
I seem to need at all times, wherever i am, SOMETHING with me, to act as like a "mother-replacement" (to make me feel "safe"). Nowadays all my house clutter seems to fill this need (& i guess i feel the "separation anxiety" whenever i change sth in house, no matter how small).
I think having separation anxiety (or "clinginess") is a result part of having major nervous/anxiety/timidity problems.
And i think i'm ever so gradually getting used to the idea that my parents will one day no longer be here. So i'm trying to rely more on other things now for "stability" (like my semi-religious/life/god/etc beliefs). Still, when they have both gone, i feel that half of me will also be gone, as they have been a huge part of my life. Just will have to deal with that when it happens, but although probably 20/so years away, already i am dreading it
From what I know of you, it does sound a lot like separation anxiety. If you get too anxious and worried if you're separated from your mother, even for a small amount of time, it does become a problem of some kind. Best to talk to your therapist about that kind of thing.
I've never had anything like this before so unfortunately I can't relate but I can provide an ear if needed.
Yea I feel ya, it almost makes me wish they never took much interest in me lol
lmao that's kinda what I was hoping to do but I guess I could be the girlfriend that does all the housework
I agree to an extent. I wish that they just taught me how to do domestic chores; it might sound harsh but that's the only interest I wish they gave to me.
At least we're both on the same wavelength. Maybe there are others out there who feel the same way that we can relate to
