I have security issues. I spend most of my time in my home behind many locks because that is the only time I feel safe.

I don't know why I am this way and my doc and therapist can't tell me why I'm this way.

I leave the safety of my home about once a week to get groceries and whenever I have an appointment. Otherwise, I'm in my house with the blinds closed.

I was wondering if anyone else stays in their home for the same reason I do.

Please vote and comment if you are comfortable doing so.

Edited to add that I'm bipolar with psychotic features and I was physically and verbally abused as a child.
