separation anxiety

Hi all, new member but have browsed before and you seem to give very straight-talking (but knowledgable) advice, and was hoping you could impart some wisdom. How do I stop feeling guilty and anxious leaving my boy even for short periods? I did not used to be like this. I lost my first bird a...
