Homesick when only Away Short Distances

I’m just a little curious about a certain way I feel when I’m not home. I guess I’d describe it as a sorta homesickness, though it comes about when I’m not even away from home that long. Such as sleeping over or hanging out at a friends house, going to school, or even taking a trip to the store, these things make me feel me feel quite uncomfortable and I have a huge urge to just go home and shut myself away. I don’t think I’m scared of being away, I just get very uncomfortable when I’m not at home. Any suggestions on how I can get over this?

You know, I've always felt that way too. It doesn't matter if it's a close friend's or family's. I get a strong need/desire to go home. The best thing you can do is don't. Just try your best to enjoy the company of others. It's good to get out. I can't really give a lot of advice on how to get OVER it because even still, years later, I still deal with it. We just have to try to force ourselves to get out and about and not let it control us. Surround yourself with healthy, supportive and happy people. :)
