Is it normal that when I'm home alone I fear for my life? I live in a good neiboorhood, but everytime my family leaves and I'm home alone I think something is coming to get me. I hate it so I go to my room lock the door and sit on my bed holding my knife until I hear some one come home. Them i wait to hear if it's someone I know. Luckly people in my family announce when they get home. So is this normal? Is something wrong with me? Please help.

    it is normalish.. when you get paranoid something or someone is watching you. espically woman get this feeling Ive noticed. but in your case where you feel its nessiary to arm a weapon, you might want to go see a teropist. being alone after that may still be scary, but you might feel you no longer have to hold a weapon for your safety. good luck ;D

    Its normal... at least to me. I'm the same way. Even when someone is home. Every noise I hear I make my husband check It out... I think mine is because of so much bad stuff going on in my city....

    Well I though I don't get afraid of being alone I do feel better if there is someone with me.

    it's normal-ish. I mean, a noise or disturbance puts me on edge more than if somenone else is home. It's a natural thing, if you're parents are home you trust that they will take care of any trouble. If not, you have to take care of yourself.

    although, it is unusual to be THAT scared. Alert would better describe it for me.

    This happens to me. I keep a gun next to me. When I was little I grew up in a bad part of town. I'd been held hostage in my house before and I'm not gonna let it happen again. But I know this clearly isn't normal.

    ummm... u mean at night or anytime of the day? most people (especially females and children) get a lil scared at night when home alone but its hardly normal to wait on your bed with a knife handy. first off i would stop watching horror/thriller type movies but i would also see a counselor or psychiatrist because it sounds like u might have some type of anxiety disorder. best of luck ;)
