sometimes i like to be alone to let myself recooperate from the hell of school and work. but i find myself mostly upset when i am alone left to think, to breathe, to cut.doesany one feel like this at any time or am i an idiot?

You are NOT an idiot.
Yes, sometimes being alone can be rather scary, especially when you have racing thoughts.
If you want to be alone, yet not alone, may I suggest going somewhere public and quiet, like a library or bookstore, a museum, the park? You would have just enough distraction, probably, to not feel so anxious, but you wouldn't have to interact with anyone.

Ooh, I know exactly how you feel. That's why I love living in a co-op, cause I can be alone if I want to (go to my room) or I can go downstairs and hang out with my buddies. It's a great combination. I would highly recommend moving into one.
