Hello. I am eightteen years old and am a female. (If my age and gender matter.) I have a horrible phobia of being alone. I cannot walk anywhere alone, be anywhere alone, and especially sleep alone. This has gotten icresingly worse over the past year and now I am a freshman in college. My boyfriend is fed up with me freaking out if he leaves a place/ room and has said I am "sick". I have no idea what to do...

      yeah I think so too I wouldn't mind to be by my gf all the time^^ yeah but I think as you said like a phobia it's not that normal... try to manage it and if you can't yeah it'd be good to visit a therapist as already was mentioned

    Go to your school counseling services ASAP and ask for a referral for a good therapist and seek help in dealing with your monophobia.
