I’m too paranoid to live alone or stay home by myself.
Anyone else the same?

I’m living with some siblings now so I feel much safer. When I lived on my own I had an expensive alarm system with cameras all over.

@Wave,I live alone and sometimes go to my bathroom and shut down all the lights just to calm my self.I can have pets because if I go to the hospital,no one will care for them.

I’m not too paranoid to live alone. I’ve been living alone for the past seven and a half years and I am perfectly fine with it.

Call it what you will, but you do learn more living with others.

I feel like such a coward.
It’s demoralizing.
I currently live with my parents but i have just been approved for public housing and put on the waiting list for an apartment, so basically i’m just waiting on one to come available now. When that happens, i will be living by myself. I lived by myself for a short while once before but had problems with the trailer i lived in and had to move back home with the parents. I don’t know if i’ll have problems being alone. I guess time will tell.

I don’t know that I’m paranoid about it. But I don’t like the idea of being a female and living alone. If I had to live by myself I would need a less expensive place. That may mean not in such a good neighborhood. I don’t think that is a good idea.

I live alone but need support to do so. If I was left to my own devices the state of my flat would get worse and worse.

I’m not really sure.
I did a few days on my own recently and can’t tell. It was too short of a time span.

I’ve been on my own for about a year and a half. Nothing is comfortable to sit on for to long because mostly it’s all cheap /used. But I like it. I’d rather have someone to spend it with. But it’s okay. I upkeep it enough but I don’t cook enough. I’m not “paranoid” but my sza has lows. So when I can’t sleep and depression comes. That’s when I get bad ideas. I recently started talking to people to get that off my mind. For me moving out was a dream come true. So I’d like not to go back home if I can stop it.

It’s easier to live in a smaller place,if you live alone,especially if you were molested in previous living together.If your people you lived with you didn’t like you,it’s easier to live alone.Sometimes it seems devastating,but you have freedom to wake up when you want,use bathroom,stay as long as you like even get mad if you want.Only boundaries are your neighbors.

I’m the complete opposite… while living with my father and our sick nanny or my mother I can’t help but feel an overwhelming negative energy in the house. I now have a 2 bedroom appartement to myself in which I sage and I couldn’t be happier!

I am like @BruceWayne. I prefer now to live alone. My pdoc told me that its not good to live alone, I can get even jealous of people who don’t live alone, but I couldn’t have handled to have somebody all the time. My illness is now like this. I get overwhelmed around people unfortunately too. And I still hope to change this, but maybe it’ll be difficult. But all my ill friends are like you, wave. They cant stand to be alone.

You can sleep in two bedrooms at once?

I’ve been with other people my whole life. I had an apartment to myself for a few months when I was young and I didn’t like it one tiny bit. I was all kinds of paranoid. Nope I never will live alone. I have everything all planned out so that won’t happen. I’ve got my husband and if he passes before me, my sister has a strong desire for me to come stay with her. And that sounds lovely to me as she is my best friend and I’ve lived with her a few times and it was nice.
