Separation anxiety/sadness

DAE Questions

Hey all.

I seem to be having a separation anxiety issue, however it doesn’t stem from anything in particular.

In September I was made redundant from work, and for medical reasons my wife has also been off work for a few months. During this time I looked for work, and spent a lot of time in the house with my wife.

I recently found employment again, so my situation has become instantly better because I have an income again and a lot of pressure has been taken off of us both.

The thing is, even though things are looking up, when I’m at work I have feelings of sadness and loneliness, and I think it’s because I’m separate from her after spending so many months constantly together.

Has anyone else experienced this?
