Hello. Its honestly quite strange that I have found myself here , online seeking help, but why not give it a shot! Ever since I was a child , ive had an irrational fear of going to bed with the windows left open. From anothers perspective , I do see where Im getting scared. It is very easy for someone to be able to break in ( considering I live in a 2 story house ) on the first floor and me not being able to hear them. I would really appreciate if you could comment, and tell me if you have the same fear or any similar experiences ! Thanks.

    Honestly, your fear doesn't sound irrational at all. There are people who've had their residences broken into from a second story window. Criminals don't care as long as they see an opportunity, they're criminals after all that's what they do.

    Unfortunate as this is, if you are female, maybe someone would try to rape you. I'm scared of the same thing.

    Last summer I was just starting to fall asleep when I felt this presence near me (bed being next to a large window). I slowly turned over and there was a raccoon standing inside the window glaring at me. My heart almost stopped. I don't leave my window open so much anymore. Maybe just cracked a little bit.

    I even see you better than I am because I am too afraid to sleep without my door locked. I feel like someone or something might walk in sneaking at me during the night.
