@ASilentObserver well as far as I’ve dealt with anxiety, it’s built off of my fears and things I DONT want to happen it’s just overthinking a lot about thinks you hate the thought of.
@E114zzzz I am sorry to hear that E11 but thank you for opening up with us. It seems it often stems from dwelling on fears and negative possibilities. Please know that is common to get caught in a cycle of overthinking and worrying about things we dread. Please know you are not alone in this. We are all here with you to listen to and support.

Fear of being alone in the house causes me to be very fearful. Also If I am alone or people are in my home at night time causes me great fear. I can not sleep until I can see the daylight peeking through,
