Murphy and Me

So Tim is working overnights this week and I HATE IT! It is now the third night this week without him here, so it's just Murphy and me. I'm probably the most paranoid person. I am constantly thinking someone is going to break into our house and murder me! It's a fear I've had for as long as I can remember. When I was really little (around 5) I would sit out in the hallway of our upstairs at this little yellow plastic table we had, and just sit and listen for any little noise and then go wake up my parents and tell them someone was in our house. Then I went through a stage when I was about 8 or 9 where I would make one of my parents sit outside my bedroom door until I fell asleep to make sure nobody would kidnap me. And until I was in high school, if I was ever home alone I would lock all the doors and sit with my back against a wall. And now that we have our own home if I'm home alone I find myself checking every room, in the shower, in the closets, under the bed, everywhere! Making sure nobody is in our house before I go to bed. I have no reason to feel unsafe. It's just a terrible curse or something that I have. And last night didn't make it any better.....

So I was already nervous because Murphy and I were home alone, but just as I was falling asleep I heard Murphy growling, so I switched on the light and he was laying at the end of our bed staring down the hallway. The hair on his back was sticking up and he was just staring at nothing. I tried to ask him to show me what it was, but he wouldn't budge.... He just kept staring past me and wouldn't move....It deffinately creeped me out so much that I had to sleep with the light on...

Maybe we should get a security system, but it seems like money wasted since we don't have a home that anyone would want to break into...but would it ease my mind?? I don't know....
Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions for helping me get over this fear?
