Fear of Entree

Now that I'm older (61) and alone,
I must admit that my fear of 
someone breaking into my home 
during the night continually 
harasses me.
I come home each night to an
empty apartment and have to do
a thorough search to see if there
is an intruder...every night. 
Even after I realize I'm safe I 
have trouble sleeping and wake 
during the night thinking I heard
someone trying to get into the
door. 
Ridiculous really, I have
heavy iron screen doors with
two locks and then more locks 
on the wooden doors. I think
I watching too many scary 
movies where the thief breaks
into iron doors with an electric
saw....oh brother.

    My home was just burglarized, last Friday. I was gone. But I am not afraid. Most thieves are cowards and will only come when no one is there. I keep my cell phone by my bed just in case. congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

    Reasonable care and precautions should definitely be taken, but perhaps writing about your concerns will help you to overcome them...good luck!
