If you can't get a chain lock, you can buy one of those bars that lean against the floor and force pressure under the handle. The problem with that is if you need rescue and they can't get in. I like the chain idea better because then the super knows you're home, but rescue could still break it open.

IT is totally in step with PTSD to have trouble with having people into your home. After 24 1/2 years, (and plenty of good therapy) I still have issues, like with the census taker. grrrr.

It isn't them...it's PTSD. "Damn" PTSD, that's what causes the over reaction to other people's insensitivities.

You're ok. You have every right to make them call or send them away when it isn't convenient. Remember, people who do those jobs often have those jobs for a reason. They might do a terrific job, but aren't able to do other types of work because they work alone best?

Breathe. You did fine. It's your home and it HAS to stay a safe place for you.
