Is there anybody else out there that gets a little freaked out about being home alone at night? I am 33 years old and I still get uneasy.
My husband just started a new job that is going to require him travel a lot more and I hate being home alone. Every little noice just freaks me out. To make things worse, my husband put his gun safe by my side of the bed so I could use it for protection when he is traveling.
Am I the only adult that really just can't take being home at night alone? What do you do if you get freaked out? How do you prevent getting freaked out?

I also don't like being alone at home. I remember when i was pregnant and my husband is away. I feel scared and i can't sleep well at night, coz of thinking those terrible things that might going to happen. So in the middle of the night i called my sister to accompany me. If i have noone to ask a favor i just put all the lights on!

I love being home by myself! It really feels like I'm getting a little vacation. My house is always noisy and busy and I'm always running here or there and never have time for myself. If everybody is away for the night, I get a chance to enjoy being by myself! I just lock all the doors and enjoy my free time. I do have a dog, though, and I guess she makes me feel a little safer because if somebody shows up, she'll definitely let me know in advance!

NO!! you are not alone!!! I stay up till the sun comes up every night when my fiance isnt home, just because of the fact i am scared of someone breaking in and raping me, every little noise makes me jump, i am constantly looking out the windows, i have knives stashed all over my house, i keep my phone on me at all times! ready to speed dial the police, or my mom who lives right next door. I am about to be 24 years old, at least i know there are others like me. My main fear is someone breaking in the house to either rob me, kill me or rape me. I hear a noise and my adrenaline shoots through the roof, i cant take it no more. i have 2 small kids and when they are asleep i roam the house listening for people outside, i have a knife in one hand and the phone in the other, every night.
