AIBU - scared of being alone over night

I’m scared of being alone over night and my fiance says I’m being unreasonable, I always worry someone’s going to break in or somethings going to go wrong, all the noises freak me out.

I can’t be the only one?!

I don’t necessarily get scared at night when I’m alone, but I do make sure ALL windows and doors are completely locked, and I’ll make sure no windows or doors outside of my view are open during that day, so I know that indoors is safe. A bit irrational I guess, but helps me feel okay home alone.

It’s a phobia, I’ve always been like it. I stayed at my mums last night, she couldn’t stay with me because of her dogs. My little girl has an event tomorrow where I live, so we are at home tonight. My dad and fiance are on my fiancés stag.. I’d never pester him and I’ve not mentioned to him although he knows I hate it. He’s having a great time, I just like company at night!

If it's an actual phobia then you can seek treatment to conquer it. If you want.

I’m the same. I was okay when I lived in a 1st floor flat on my own, so I had neighbours above and below and to either side but since moving to a house I hate it. Have to sleep with music playing and a little light on and barely sleep. Partner will be working nights soon so dreading it. X
