Whencwork sends me away for 1/2 nights or on a course for the day I get really upset and actually cried in my hotel room because I felt lonley.I'm in my 20's, I'm not a child but I hate being away from familiar terretory. If I go on holiday with my family I'm fine but Igbo go away with friends I can't enjoy myself.Why??

Use the time to read improving works of literature / watch films in the hotel room you might not otherwise see / talk to fellow attendees at the programs you're attending or whatever.
See these very very short trips away from the parental nest as welcome opportunity, not a threat.
And enjoy !
If you really really cannot change your attitude to these away times to something more positive then I would say you need counselling at minimum.

 Well you answered your own question hun, You're used to always having people around, plus your between 26-29 and living at home so you've never experienced 'being alone' to a certain extent. It's good that your experiencing being away from home in small quantities such as 1/2 nights, and maybe you should try it more often? Ask a friend or boyfriend to join you for a night somewhere, just go somewhere not too far from home, but not down the street either, and gradually go further/longer. At some point in your life, you're going to move out and stand on your own two feet. It sounds like your family are close, so tell them how you feel.But when work do send you away, just remember that your on a course, you havent been banished to a far land forever. Your family are only a phone call away.

Everyone does feels the same when they are not used to it.Try to do something else at the time to spend your time wisely so that you won't be feeling bored or lonely at the moment. Time will fly away fast when you used it properly.Just think positive, get yourself suit to it, and you will soon get used to it!Good Luck!
