I’m a 22 year old female and for some reason i have a gut renching fear of being home alone at night time. I still live with my mom but she works for Fed Ex so she leaves for work at 1AM and doesn’t come home till about 10-11AM. My younger sister (20) also lives with us and her current job is just not doing her right, so my mom suggested she comes to work with her at night time to make more money and get paid every week. Anyways, she’s filling out the application and i know i should be happy for her to have new opportunities but i can’t shake the fear that i will be alone at home from 1-11 AM , 6 days a week. One night i had to call an ambulance for my sister because she couldn’t breathe and she passed out. I get afraid that something will happen to me health wise during those hours and i won’t be able to call for help or take care of myself and no one will be here to help me. I dont know what led me to have this fear, but i know it is something i will have to learn to get over, i just don’t know if i’m ready just yet. does anyone have any advice or suffer with anything similar? i just don’t know how to cope , i stay up all hours of the night with insomnia just worried.
