Re: Afraid to leave my house-could it catch fire and kill my dog and cat?
Like you I have been reduced to tears so many times in the past week as I have been very down and have been having crazy thoughts. Is there a friend that can come with you for a little walk out of your house. When im scared to go outside I used to do a little each day eg. go to the end of the driveway, then the next day to the end of the road, then maybe to the end of the street/block. Take it bit by bit and try and maybe coax your dog and cat out for a walk.
I am a keen animal lover and I always feel quilty and upset when I feel like I shouldnt have so many animals when I am so messed up = but at the end of the day they have really got me through some tough times. When I've felt like I've had no-one they have always been there. And thats whats always kept me going, knowing that they care about me
