Earlier today I got home and couldn't get my door to open until I messed with the lock (which I'd left unlocked when I went out unless I had very uncharacteristically locked that one). So at the time I thought that I hoped nobody was in here. I checked the closets and nobody was here and nobody had taken my money I keep here. So I thought it was just a blip.

Except I can't stop thinking that someone is in here and is waiting for dark to kill me. Every noise I hear scares me. My cat is choosing to be in another room which just makes it worse; I want her to cuddle with me. There have been a few noises I couldn't identify (probably just the house settling) and I'm still scared.

I kind of want to spend the night at my mom's (she lives across the driveway) but I know if I do I'll have a hard time coming back home.

I know this is probably paranoia but it feels like it is too real to dismiss as paranoia.
