lately I've been having constant worrying about becoming a victim of crime, such as a robbery inside the apartment or someone coming up to me wanting my wallet/money. I often worry about it when I take my dogs out to do their business, I have to walk them on a leash outside the area, and I worry about what the person might do to them, especially if they have guns. I worry a robber would shoot my dogs. It worries me so much, I couldn't stand that happening. I'm finding myself taking the dogs outside less and less (and it has caused them to have accidents inside). I don't dare take them out at night. There was a stabbing in my apartment complex a couple weeks ago, so some of my worrying may well be justified. But I think they worrying goes beyond that. When I am done with taking the dogs out, and I make it indoors (thank goodness), I worry that there is someone inside my apartment, robbing the place. I leave the door unlocked when I take my dogs out cause it doesn't take very long, but I think soon I will start locking the door. But I have vivid scenarios in my head about coming home to find robbers taking the TV and the computer and me walking in on them. When I'm outside and I see another person, I get a lot of anxiety, thinking maybe he is out to hurt me or try to rob me (even though I have no cash on me! then he'd be mad at me and shoot me for not giving him money!) I'm just so afraid of everyone around me. I've never been like this before. Dunno what's going on!
