Can you get some meds for your anxiety? I think that would be the first step. What you're feeling sounds awful. Then maybe you could see a therapist to discuss why you're suddenly afraid to be alone. It may be just a medical thing though.
One of my main goals in therapy is making friends. My T says I need to have a bigger support system. I know its true, but easier said than done, right? I'm working on it though. One thing I'm thinking about trying is www.MeetUp.com. Its a site where people with a common interest plan get togethers at a restaurant or bookstore or something. I'm signed up for three groups, but I haven't gone to any of the get togethers yet. But I do plan to work up to it. You might want to check it out. I know I need all the help I can get! :-)
I hope you're feeling better soon.
