like im at the level of fear and panic where my vision went white.. i feel so crazy for it, i have 2 20lbs weights and a 15lbs weight in front of my locked bedroom door, knife in hand, every main door and window is locked, but my house makes so many noises and they’re just esp loud tonight😞 i just need someone with me or someone to interact w this so i feel less alone or more safe i guess

i’m sorry you’re going through this, that sounds very scary. i often convince myself someone has broken in, even if i know the likelihood of that is low. maybe try an watch a show to take your mind off it :) i promise ur safe

I understand how all of you who are going through this are feeling. But I advise not feeding into the fear and learning to cope and bring yourself off the ledge of panic. Because feeding into this fear will make it more real over time until you can no longer seperate your thoughts from reality. You can however just do things to make yourself feel more secure in your home, such as installing cameras and if your fears are at any point an actual reality, call the authorities.

For God did not give you a spirit of fear but of health and a sound mind. Rebuke those spirits away in the name of Jesus. Not a weapon formed against you can prosper because of the dominion the Blood of Jesus has over you!

it wouldn’t help you to have someone joke about breaking into your house.
