Fear of Home Invasion

does anyone have the obsessive thought that they will be a victim of a home invasion? it mostly affects me at night when im about to sleep, but it also affects me during the day too, when im home alone. it’s made me afraid to do basic things when i’m home alone like shower, use the bathroom, eat, etc. it makes me stay in my room until someone gets back home, and then i’m able to do things

Yes - it used to be a problem especially when my family wasn’t home with me, sometimes if they were as well. It got bad to a point where one night I broke a bed frame into a bunch of pieces to put the pieces into the windows to make sure they’re impossible to open. I don’t even know where it really came from, to be honest, but it’s not the greatest feeling in the world yknow? I used to have so much trouble sleeping because of a lot of stuff but this one specifically lingered for a while until I moved lol
