my partener is currently working away from home which he has done in the past. iv never liked staying on my own at night but seemed to be getting used to it. but now the fear is coming back. i have a 15 month old son so cant really go and stay with anyone. i do suffer with depression which iknow may have something to do with it.
i was just wondering if anyone out there had anyways in which i could deal with this.
thanks.x

Being alone can be uncomfortable at the best of times, but with a young child it feels alot worse. Once the baby's in bed you cant go out or make too much noise and it's easy to feel trapped. I used to feel that way, i was also suffering with post-natal depression and i know you're home can suddenly feel like a jail cell. What worked for me was hobbies. Anything to do with your hands, or requires concentration. I do home learning course, and i think it's great i'm actually bettering myself as well as passing the time before bed! Knitting, reading, rent a movie that you like, or even try your hand at Yoga, using a self-teach book or dvd. Catch up on laundry or cleaning, redecorate! If you have a garden try planting a few things or tidying up the lawn. The answer is to not sit for too long with nothing to do, you'll think far more and with depression that usually means negative thoughts. Ask a few friends round, there really are plenty of things you can do around the home, after a while, you may even find you prefer staying at home!

If you don't work outside the home look for a creative outlet that you can do maybe to make some money. When I lived 650 miles from my family and had 2 babies in a year, my husband was gone often with his work. I began selling Avon to my neighbors and got to know them. I foung a local church with activities for toddlers and went to activities. For night time I make sure I was good and tired and kept a baseball bat nearby just in case.

No wonder you are getting depressed there was no mention of any freinds in your question. I reckon you should come on here more often make some freinds or get your hubby to email you often as he can.
Does he know you suffer from depression if sho what has he done to help you? If that was me I would look for another job so that you werent on your own as much.

Can you get a pet? Maybe a dog? It would be someone to talk to and give you some protection and a feeling of security....not to mention the love they give you. And they can help you deal with depression too. Try to find something for anxiety (fear) that will help , but not be so strong you can't take care of your child.

Hypno-analysis is very successful for the problems you have ignoring the problems just causes more anxieties. Hypno- analysis will find the root cause of these problems and you will feel better in yourself rather than using tablets which just covers over the problem it does not cure it. Have a look on this website contact him if neccessary for further information he will help you.

i feel for you i sometimes have to stay on my own and dont like it one bit. But i try to busy myself by ringing friends and family - and although it is boring i catch up on my housework there is always something to do. also i read, and spend a lot of time on the internet. i agree also in trying a chatroom - or try playing online games ....

I dont like being on my own.
My answer would be when you put the baby to bed, go to bed yourself with a good book or watch tv

My advice is to get yourself a cat or a dog - good company and you don't feel alone. Plus if you have a dog you may feel safe!!
