I can relate to all this: I am in my home literally all day and night - petrified to go out - my consultant psychiatrist was the one who initially told me I was paranoid and delusional during my nervous breakdown. But note: I don't think I'm paranoid or hallucinating. I know it's highly dangerous out there, but I was sexually assaulted at work 4 yrs. ago and have been medically retired since. Luckily I have a very understanding wife and son.
