My mum is away home now (with crying so it made me worse) and so i'm here myself. I don't know what to do, i'm not used to living by myself. I can cope with doing the cooking and looking after myself, what I don't like is the silence when I come home and it makes me sad/lonely.
I don't like being alone in the afternoon or when I come home but I can get through it, it's just hard. Does anyone have any tips on how to get through living alone and adjust to living alone? So far I've decided to Skype my parents a night which helps but I would need to see if I can find other things.

I know how you feel..... But trust me,after a few days you will love it!!
No one nagging you to do this,that,etc............ Recently my mum/dad went away for a week and a 1/2 ... I loved it!! (Took a couple days to fel right but I did love it -- I DONT WANNA BE HOME ALONE constantly though)
I wound up living alone young, And on short notice. It was permanent for me also. Not sure from your post if it is temporary or permanent for you, But get involved in some activities! If you have some friends have a dinner/movie/game night. if the weather is nice where you are, Go out and see some nature if possible. People do not connect with the natural world as much in modern times. The fresh air, trees, mountains, beach etc really open the mind and free it from all the distractions (Computers, cell phones etc) that we are bombarded with every day. See a museum, film, something you were interested in but never had or made time for (We all have these I think.) Maybe you have a game/book/movie you never really looked at. Now is the time to check it out. Hit the gym/park also maybe. Cook something for yourself also. if you are going to be by yourself long term you need this skill.
Point is to keep busy, learn something about the world or yourself. Don't let anxiety guide you.
You'll get used to it, really. Have the TV on or radio if you don't like the silence. Now you can walk around nekkid whenever you want, too
