how to deal with paranoia when you're home alone

since being alone generally makes my paranoia worse, I figured I’d share some things I do to make myself feel safer.

• pulling down shades - helps you feel better by keeping people from watching you outside.

• keeping music on or watching a (non triggering) video/movie - helps distract you from any noises that you might perceive as dangerous.

• put tape over camera/webcam - helps you feel safer when using your computer.

• stay in contact with friends/family - knowing someone that cares for you is available is helpful.

if you have any of your own coping strategies feel free to add on! (anyone can reblog this post)

• There’s a few rooms in my house where the light switch is outside of the room, my downstairs bathroom specifically. I don’t use that bathroom when I’m alone out of fear that the light will be turned off somehow, but if I do, I leave the door open. • If you’re able to, get yourself familiar with sounds in your home that can’t be drowned out by music/tv. My fridge makes this weird popping noise. I didn’t know it was my fridge for like a year, until one night I decided to investigate the noise rather than pretend I didn’t hear it. • If you have pets, try to keep them in the same room as you for some company. If they wander off, I suggest following them so you know where they went if you need them. • I have night lights that double as flashlights when they’re unplugged. They’re perfect if you don’t want to turn a light on every time you enter a new room. I always forget to turn lights back off and end up with a crazy power bill 😅 • I also like to sit in a place where I can always see the door(s) to the room I’m in
