I think Im developing Paranoia
I used to live in a small secluded town where everybody knew everybody and there was never an issue regarding locking doors and robberies since they would never happen . Anyway, I recently moved to a large city with the fourth highest crime rate in Canada. Being secluded all my life has made me so paranoid of the outside world. My fiancée recently started working night shifts 4 times a week so I stay at home by myself these nights. I hear things constantly and think people break into my house. I have called my fiancée in tears because I literally thought I heard someone breaking into my house, or walking around the house. I can't sleep during these nights which is causing me to have terrible insomnia. I went to the doctor and he said I was just being to paranoid and prescribed my Zopiclone for my insomnia... however, I don't want to drug myself to fall asleep since I am so scared that people are going to break in. I feel like I am becoming delusional, I have terrible anxiety and this fear is starting to take over my life! Any suggestions?
