Is this separation anxiety?

8 month old baby have been apart from him around 4 times for a couple of hours ( usually timed so he is napping and has been with my partner his father, my mum once and MIL once). Due Back to work January and absolute dreading it. Feel sick when I'm not with him and anxious also have this strange feeling that I described earlier to my Mum: I always feel really strange at the thought of him existing while I’m not with him like I was sat in the waiting room and I thought I can’t believe Baby is at home now carrying on with his daily activities.

Is this separation anxiety? Anyone had this? Any help to overcome ? Thank you

It's almost as though I can't believe he exists if I'm not with him

You just miss him. It’s totally normal. Not any sort of anxiety, just being a parent!

It is hard to be separated from your children, even when they are older.
