I've checked the perimeter of my house a couple times tonight. I feel like I need to do it again. All of the anti-anxiety medications aren't working so that begs the question: Is this actually anxiety or is there actually something wrong. I don't know what and I don't know why, but I really feel like something bad is going to happen. I feel like I have to be ready for it, or something. Damn, I wish I still had my gun.
I feel like I need to check my windows and doors again. I don't know why. I'm posting this on here because I know PTSD can increase paranoia. I don't think I'm going to get any sleep. If I fall asleep, something could happen. I really hate this. I don't know if what I'm feeling is real or if I'm just crazy. I just wish I could feel safe but I can't. Not unless someone's awake watching over the house. I know all too well how easy it is to break into a house this old and I'm not falling asleep to allow anyone to break in here. I sound so insane right now.... Why am I so damn paranoid and why aren't the anti-anxiety pills working?

I understand. I experience hypervigilance at times too.

I experience this. I have the PTSD and hypervigilance is something I struggle with. Anxiety can also induce obsessive thoughts. I hate the dreaded feelings I get that my doom is impending or something.
When it gets this bad, is there a soothing friend you can call who will come over just so you're not alone? |

It's hard to manage when the house creaks a lot. I try to distract myself or self-soothe. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I have to tough it out.

Back to being not so calm.

Have you considered getting a dog to alert you if something happens?

(((Hugs)))
I have 3 dogs, a security system with camera inside and outside the house and I still never feel safe. When paranoia gets too high it turns into a delusion. I can't totally relate to being certain that something terrible is going to happen on my watch and I will be caught unprepared. I hope something can be done to help you feel better. (((Hugs))) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
