Hey,
I'm sorry you are finding it difficult to be alone, though it is good you are able to identify it as a triggering time because at least you can plan around that and think about what you can do.
I like the above suggestions of going out at the times when you need to study and there won't be anybody around. I often go to a cafe if I am feeling unsafe and read my book etc, it's not as scary as it may seem and it does take the intensity away.
Also, you could have a think in advance about what you could do for the times you are going to be alone in the dorm? What distractions could/would work for you? Perhaps have a crisis plan ready in advance so you don't have to think about what to do when you are already in that crisis situation.
