okay, i mentioned paranioa. I will describe how I am feeling, maybe I am off base. I dont and never have liked sleeping upstairs - afraid. Now I do after much strife in our marriage, if you know what I mean. I slept on the couch for almost 1 yr. When I do sleep upstairs I am scared. I have a plan of where to hide if an intruder comes into my home. For a while I was scared to leave the house, now better Still not much into going places, but not scared. I see people and some immediately creep me out - i find myself fearful of them almost immediately. Maybe women's intuition. Yesterday I left to go to an auction and on the way home I was paniced that my dh and kids were killed in an accident. I could not get ahold of them on the cell. Then I feared our house burnt down. I used to sit at work and think about our house burning or my kids dying. Is this paranoia?

(((((jen)))))) i can't say for sure, but it does sound like paranoia on some level. forgive me if i've asked this before, but do you have a tdoc/pdoc? and what meds are you on, if any? i would seriously recommend talking to your tdoc about this if you have one. and if not, talk to your pdoc about something to help with the paranoia.
i wish i could be of more help. but sending you (((((hugs))))) across the miles.

Jen,
It could be paranoia, but more likely is "catastrophizing"--where you automatically go to the worst case scenerio over the slightest thing.
