[QUOTE="Andy, post: 408216, member: 5096"] Knowing you did have an intuder in the house not too long ago while you were home is also feeding into this and could be why it is heightened again. That incident would heighten the fear factor in everyone (I am sure you and the rest of the family are now more aware of the possibility when a door is left unlocked). Thinking that people are pointing and laughing could also mean that she is starting to look at leaving her comfort zone and finding the reasons not to. She has been shut down for so long that even though these symptoms are showing and could most likely be schizophernia (I don't know specifics about that disorder) I would also look at it in the light that she is starting to open up a little and will need time to gain her confidence back - those first steps of being in public are very scary and it does seem like EVERYONE knows who you are and what you are doing and are watching for you to make a mistake. You will find a way to get her to realize that people are not pointing her out or laughing at her or listening to what you are talking about - it will take time. Noticing what is going on is very good!!! You are doing a good job. Great job on your part also to force her to trust your knowledge that the den is a safe place. Just be aware that because of the recent intruder, her parania is heightened because it received a reality reason to be afraid. [/QUOTE]
