writes: Hey, My problem is basically that when my boyfriend goes to work in the evenings and I get left stuck at home, as I work during the day at different times, I always start to feel ill. When he is here I feel fine but as soon as he leaves or when I know its nearly time for him to leave I start to get a headache and my temperature soars. At the minute he's at work and I feel awful. I have got the shivers, high temperature and I have no appetite at all. I know this is a silly question but could this just be lovesickness, if there is such a thing?Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Sounds like you're experiencing some kind of separation anxiety. If you are not experiencing any of these sypmtoms at other times, then yes it is tied to your nerves, and anxiety over your b/f leaving you alone to go to work and it doesn't sound healthy. Maybe if you line up some projects to do when he's gone you'll feel less prone to these anxiety attacks. You could rent a couple of movies ahead of time, you could plan some time with a friend, cook dinner for them, try out a new recipe for a great dessert, take up a class or a hobby that'll keep you occupied while he's away. Once you find things you enjoy you may be able to adjust to his absences better. Afterall we can't be with our loved ones 24/7 so you must set your mind on ways to challenge and occupy yourself when you can't be together. Good luck.

Its really hard to miss someone but you have to try and occupy yourself and not dread the time you spend apart.
Make sure you have enough time together and do the things you want to make you feel fulfilled. When he isn't around exercise or have friends over. Keep a balance and you'll begin to feel better. If not maybe your exhausted or worried see your doctor to check these symptoms out. It mite be that your mental worry is upseting your physical state.
Hope this helps and that you start feeling better. Just remeber you have someone who loves you and that should make you feel special and don't neglect those around you either they care too.
