Lots of good advice here, and I also wanted to suggest that you send her to doggy daycare if that's available near you for a day or two a week while you work on the separation anxiety to give yourself a break. It sounds like you are struggling and stressed, and I know when we were dealing with a similar issue with a dog I had, we would send him to daycare for the day, and it was a relief just to not have to worry about him for a day.
This is definitely something we’re looking at doing just for our own mental health! Unfortunately we’ve been rejected by 5 day care centres already because they don’t have any space - demand is through the roof! Confident we’ll find somewhere suitable soon though, thanks.
