Need help with phobia ; seeing a therapist but not working?

I get panic attacks when my parents go away for 2 or 3 nights and i sleep alone at home

The reason for it is past experiences .even though they are only 2 hours away I panic

I panic what if I collapse and nobody is home to save me

The reason I think that way is because I already had two scary things happen to me when alone for a few nights 

One a hip fracture

And the other a bad asthma attack

I ask friends to sleepover they put excuses

    Find a therapist who is a master practitioner of NLP or Neurolinguistic Programming. That phobia can be fixed in one session using NLP.

    The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural); forgive me.

    Source(s): First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    If your therapist isn't helping find a different therapist.  Phobias can be "cured" in relatively short time.

    I have to wonder if you purposely CREATED the medical emergencies that you describe just so your parents would be manipulated to stay with you.

    Have you thought about getting a medical alert necklace to wear?  It would give you more independence.

    Perhaps you have what is known as a Dependent Personality Disorder.  You can look it up or Google it.  And so, your need to keep going to this therapist is IMPORTANT because he or she will have to teach you the ordinary life skills we learn in adolescence:  Self-reliance, independence and responsibility for ourselves.  And you will have to WORK HARD to learn these important life skills and give up your panic attacks when on your own.

    Your parents should continue to go away.  If you work hard with your therapist, you can change this and become a normal functioning adult.

    Panic disorder has a nasty habit of creating phobias. Somebody might have a panic attack while taking a shower and because the guy associates the shower stall with panic, the thing scares him. There's a number of things that help with panic disorder. 

    Cognitive therapy for panic disorder involves understanding what the attack is. The symptoms are nothing but your system's natural responses to whatever seems threatening. You shouldn't get upset about them. You don't worry about fast heartbeat when you run, and there's no reason to fear it with a panic attack Source - When Panic Attacks by Dr. David Burns..

    One of the best treatments is time, You know the old saying "Familiarity breeds contempt." After a while, the attacks are seen as a nuisance instead of a threat.
