[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 448343, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#000080][SIZE=2]I have this, though probably not as seriously now that I am an adult. I was up until 3AM the other night because I've been alone in the house since Friday night (H stayed behind in FL). easy child was out both Friday and Saturday night, I think I averaged four hours each night. Also, I lock up the house like fort Knox-drives H crazy when he comes home and everything is locked up tight (he leaves everything open), we live in the country. I also won't look at the bathroom window when I'm in there, so convinced am I that I will surely see a face looking in. If I'm watching tv at night, I pull the blinds and curtains closed so someone can't look in, I'm so convinced that there is surely someone trying to look in. Even alone in my office at work, I will turn around to check the windows, sure there is someone looking at me. I try to talk myself down, especially when I have to shower, but it's difficult at times. Xanax helps me in terms of sleeping at night, but more and more, I do spiritual home cleanings. I know, sounds kooky, but by lighting some candles and calling on God/spirits, whomever, I ask for protection.
