Im a stress head - let's get that straight now.
But I want to know if you think I'm just being outright paranoid and unreasonable.
Up until a few months ago I was living with my mother and siblings and as such when I went out there was usually someone home.
Now if we want to go out, there's no one home and I become ultra paranoid that the house is going to get broken into and either a) the cats escape or b) a sicko does something to them.
I have read news stories about houses being broken into and the cats/pets being hurt and this is my ultimate nightmare. I've been slowly adding good security doors and window security, but the more stuff you do like that the more attention your house gets - they will want to know what you're trying to protect.
I realise the chances of it happening are slim but STILL, does it ever weigh on your mind?
Are you comfortable leaving the house for an entire day?
It's really sad that the most I ever get out now is a couple of hours at a time because I just worry too much and don't enjoy myself. I could not even visit my family on Xmas day because it would require being out for 12 hours (I live far from them).
Am I going crazy?!
