This worries me - Panic Disorders Message Board

Yesterday afternoon my neighbor came to my house.When I didnt answer the door she started banging on my bedroom window.

I had laid down to take a nap and at times sleep deeply where I cant be woken.It scared her because I didnt answer the door.

She had come over to tell me to call my Aunt.So I call my Aunt and she tells me my Dad is in Hospital.He was having chest pains and Nitroglycerin didnt stop them.

Anyway it scares me and am afraid they think Im dead or sick when I dont answer the door.Im afraid one of these days when they come and knock and I dont answer the door they will go all out and have the police come check on me.

At times Im almost afraid to take a nap because someone might come and I wont hear them knock.This puts tremendous strain on me and stresses me BIG time!

I think the neighbour was justified in banging on the window because the news was important
your other fears are unfounded, you could leave a notebook and pencil at the front door for messages, not on the phone, are you?

Me neighbor didnt know why my Aunt called her.All she knew was that my Aunt had called and couldnt get in touch with me,so my Aunt asked her to come and tell me to call her.

Everyone thinks that I MUST answer the door when they come.If I dont they bang on my bedroom window.I have the right to say NO.I DO NOT have to answer the door or phone.

You have given me a bright idea to leave a notebook and pencil out for when people come by.Thanks!
