Just need some advice. When I was younger somebody broke into our house while just me and my brother were there.. we had to hide in the bathroom until the police came. Two years ago I was at a house party, a shoot out broke out & I was shot by a stray bullet. These things have scarred me for life to the point where I'm always so scared to be alone. Me n my boyfriend have a beautiful new apartment in a very nice part of Atlanta.. I'm trying to get over my fear but I just can't. I always feel like something is going to happen to me :( What can I do?

This sounds to me like a form of ptsd. Which should be treated with therapy or it can get a lot worse.

I try so hard to not think negative but nobody understand how truly afraid I am of being alone.. I catch myself checking windows to make sure they're locked.. I can't keep living like this... I can't afford therapy I don't think.. but maybe I should look into it @swtlilangl

If you have insurance it's probably covered. At least look into it. It's no fun living in fear.

@krystal, @swtlilangl you're right I'm really going to look into therapy. I hate being so scared, when I have no reason to..

@arijane316, I said i would do that after I have the baby. I feel like that would help a lot because I DEFINITELY can't even touch a gun at this point.

I know, but guns make me really anxious I couldn't put that stress on my body while I'm pregnant @arijane316

They made me anxious at first too and then once I held and shot one I was like "wow I was afraid of this thing?"

Try looking into EMDR therapy: this is a special therapy helping to reprocess traumatic experiences, it should only take a few sessions!

get a dog, a breed that has a history of being protective of their owners. like a German Shepard or pit bull, then build a good relationship with that dog, make sure they know YOU'RE their owner no one else, not even your boyfriend, then start using some training exercises to train your dog to be a guard dog.
