I am always scared. I always think something or someone is trying to get me. At night, I have to lock up the house-all the doors and windows. I have to walk around and check every room, every closet, everywhere of the house and I take pepper spray with me. I have to sleep with a light on, for fear that something awful will get me if it is "too dark" and I have to have the shower curtain open. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night cold and sweaty and crying and I have to call my boyfriend. Sometimes he comes over and walks around the house-outside and inside-to make me feel better that there is nothing out there.

How can I make all of this stop? I am 20 years old and this behavior bothers me.
