Scared of people breaking into house.

[fuzzy_sweets]

Hello,

I have an overwhelming fear of people breaking into the house and trying to get me. That they will find me out...that I'm a horrible person .

Does anyone else have similar feelings like these?

I feel so alone

I get scared of people breaking in too... I live in a flat and EVERY time I hear someone on the stairs or the wind through the extractor fan I get terrified...

I've been told to write a list, sort of like a rational list of reasions why people are unlikely to break in... not done it, but thought I'd suggest it to you in case you want to try. I'll proably do it eventually...

Yeah sounds like a good starting point!

i get really paranoid and really scared, about people breaking in, and people watching and being in the house when i get in. it was last night, the cat and dog had a bust up, i was in bed, and thought someone had got in and was beating up my dog. im even that bad when i leave my sister in the house over night if i'm out, i get terrified that someone will break in and do something to her. its horrible. but your not alone. i might try that list thing! xxx

I completely understand, i have a huge fear of someone breaking in to my flat and stabbing me in the neck and paralysing me. I have had this fear as far back as i can remember. I do lots of little rituals before i go to bed to keep safe. But i dont suggest you get into that, its no fun!

Have you ever had someone break into your house before or is it just a fear you have? Either way i understand how horrible it is.

nuttybabe07: No I have never had someone break in...but I put it down to being left in the house alone overnight as a child. I used to get really scared and stuff and also didnt help that I was locked in the house with NO way out...
