Can adults develop some form of separation anxiety? I joined the army in Jan. of this year.  Its been a very stressful time for me as you can imagine.  I have had to be separated from both my husband and my daughter for much longer then I like.  During this time I have began to feel very clingy.  I get very upset when I can't be with my husband and when we are together and he must leave I cry like a two year old might.  I am very upset and almost hurt at the moment just knowing he will have to go shortly.  I was recently diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder with mixed anxiety and depression.  I am not adapting well to the army and the doctors have recommended I be discharged.  This would be a dream come true to me so I can be back home with my family where I belong.  Is this actually separation anxiety and if so do you think it might subside once I am permanantly home?
