I really feel down

A grilfriend of mine came and picked me up today. And we went shopping and out to dinner. Then I came home and found someone had been in my house. My front window was laying on the ground.What's this world coming too. When you can't feel safe in your own home. I guess I'm going to have to get a roommate until my boyfriend gets out of jail or a dog just to feel safe. I really don't like living alone it scares me. I'm afraid to go to sleep at night.

bummer dude that really bites the big one. be careful man, people are much crazier now than before it is this whole economic crisis we are experiencing i guess. makes people desperate. be sure to really research the person before you let them live with you, go through a reputable agency one of those flatshare ones if you want help with that let me know and i'll hook you up with some links that you can check out. i hope the door has since been fixed. look the upside is that you were not home, you could have been assaulted sexually and otherwise, there are a lot of creeps out there. just get a baseball bat or something. and a dog is great idea. and just be vigilant and make sure you are not being watched or followed home and try to vary your routine because it seems like someone was keeping tabs on you and knew that you would not be there or something. the only other alternative is to move out to somewhere else with better security or else you will never feel safe there. hang in there. i will check in again with you tomorrow to make sure that you are doing okay, sorry about the mess, but hang tough and look out for those crims, try to have a friend stay with you for the next few days or something okay. take care now.

What kind of sites are they? Because I am really looking for someone to share the bills with.

Was anything stolen? I know the feeling of violation that you get when someone breaks into your house. Can you have someone, one of your friends or family, stay over for a few nights? I wouldn't want to be alone in the house either if this happened to me.

Sorry to say but this seems to be a common thing with the economy getting so bad. Ppl are getting desperate and are going to drastic measures to make ends meet. I know it's terrible to have someone break in your home but be thankful that you weren't in your home when it happened, it could have been a lot worse.

i know how it feels, although i've never experienced something like that, i commute when i go home and i've had a lot of bad experiences along the road. it's scary when you're alone regardless if you're at home or in school or wherever. we should always be careful and we sgould keep ourselves alert at all times.

i hope that your situation has improved and that you are not feeling quite as violated as you were before. hang in there tomorrow might just be a better day. and hopefully whoever did choose to violate you has the worst karma ever. what goes around comes around apparently.

Am sorry for what happened to you. I feel the same fear. Though none like this has happened to me so far. But, I do know how it's like to be that scared. Yes, it's much better that you get a housemate for until you have your boyfriend back. It's important that you feel safe and that you are really safe. Maybe, you should add double lock to your door. An burglar alarm might help, too, if it's not going to cost you so much. You're still lucky that you were not home when it happened. At least you're unharmed. Be safe always.

I know how you feel; My mom is in the hospital at present, my kids are out more than in, and last night I had to stay home alone in the house. Although they can get on my nerves when they are here, I am so used to having company but that is not happening all the time.In your case, I hope you reported it, make sure nothing was taken. This world is corrupt these days so I am not really surprised. but I hope things get better for you.

do you won the place. or you renting or something. if you are just renting then i will live some where else since i don't think that place is safe any more. why not ask someone to live with you. a friend a relative. i hope you will find one who will share space with you if you can't leave that place specially if you own the place. i know the feeling of not feeling safe in your own home or place. that will take away your peace of mind. it is important that we know that every time we get out of our place that we will find it the same way we left it and that at night when we sleep that we feel secure that no one will break in. maybe that person who broke into your own home maybe living some where near you cause they or he knew some one was njot at home in your place. and that it will be safe for them to break into your house. don't you have neighbors who will notice some thing fishy going in your place when you leave your home. cause in my community, since we are in living in such community where every one seems to know what is doing, that it is very much noticeable if there will some thing fishy going on , on the other house, thankfully they are busybodies and gossipers, that is the only thing that i can say positive about their gossiping about other people's lives. at least we have our own unpaid guard in our home.

Hi there..that really is very depressing but you shouldn't lose any hope...look forward and think that there will be better things that wll happen in the future..I also advice that if it's okay with you,I suggest you find another place where you feel safe and comfortable..meanwhile if it's okay with your friends,ask them if sometimes you could sleep at their house instead so you could atleast feel safe and have a good night sleep...hope those things I said will help you in a way...:B

Well depression is common in this busy world..though its bitter fact. So dont take it emotional to heart and try to come out of the past. Please dont give up confidence. Do yoga, you will feel a great heal and confidence. God bless you friend! Things will be better soon, dont give up.
