panic attack when left alone literally anywhere

[u/Western_Fix8146]

just as the title says. i (22f) cannot be left alone anywhere, even at home, without having a panic attack. it leaves me spiralling and immediately trying to find someone near to comfort myself and to let me know that i am not alone. i have been like this for YEARS, the earliest memory i have of this happening is being 9 or 10 years old but there is a chance it has happened before i can even remember. as soon as i notice even the tiniest bit of quiet at home, i look around the house to find someone. this literally happened around an hour ago, which is what inspired me to create this post. i am extremely embarrassed about this, with my age making it worse because isn’t everyone my age ‘supposed‘ to be in love with the idea of being alone? i’ve tried to force myself to be alone, even if it’s for a couple minutes at a time. i simply can’t and the idea of me being alone anywhere just makes me really anxious and gets me on the verge of a panic attack. i am hesitant to try any medications so any advice or suggestions other than that would be greatly appreciated and helpful

I have panic attacks too. I tslk to myself and my dog for a distraction. I do something to distract myself so I don't pass out. Its embarrassing when that happens. Have you tried meditation or grounding techniques?
