The relatively small town in which I live in has been known as a safe place to live. It has been the kind of place where you can sleep peacefully without having to worry about some criminals breaking in. It has been the kind of place where you can sit OUTSIDE by yourself from when the sun goes down to when the sun goes up.

These last events caused me to become paranoid. It's like I HAVE to play the security role in my own house in order to know that there's no one inside. Even the sounds that once used to be a normal and maybe even relaxing noise (such as the dishwasher and fridge sounds) can make me go paranoid!!!!!

I'm so new to all of this and I'm not sure how to cope. I'm scared :(
