What Causes Fear Of Being Alone?

I am terrified of being alone. When i am alone i hear noises and see or notice things that i dont usually when someone else is with me. i get very jumpy and paranoid sometimes i even cry and i will sit in a corner wrapped in a blanket to feel safer untill someone comes home. This happens in the daytime as well as night time i wont look in the mirrors or out a window because i am afraid i will see something scary. all of this only happens when i am home alone what is wrong with me and what can i do?
