Expert Guide 4 U?: Adults can experience fear of being separated from person(s) they feel dependent upon/feel they can't live without. Some experience this as a dread they'll be abandoned ; won't be able to survive. For deep understanding of what's going on u'd want a skilled detective -a mental health clinician who could help uncover the factors at play ; help u learn 2cope w/fears associated w/ separation.

Need counselling: Most people will have some level of separation anxiety. If it is severe and pervasive seek a counselor. Separation may improve with frequent communication thru available media like face book, skype, etc and time.
