Not quite sure whats going on. could be anxiety?

[rachelcherise]

I am a 17 year old girl living in a wealthier suburb in a nice house, I say this because robberies aren't too uncommon around me and I am always afraid of someone being in my house. My parents go out at night usually three days a week and when they leave I feel like someone is instantly in my house the second they leave. We have quite a few rooms, so me just checking out my door never helps because I feel like they could be hiding in some room of my home. I am extremely sensitive to sound, or I hear a lot of pounding and footsteps, I am not sure. If I am with someone else and ask if they heard the sound too, they always say no. So, I hear these sounds all the time and then right away i feel extremely light headed, ringing in my ears and I feel as if I cant breathe. I am in constant fear every time I am alone. Even with telling myself the doors are locked, my dog hasn't heard anything and its just not even that probable, I'm still scared. I had depression at a very young age I think it started when I was about nine, so maybe this could be connected. I was sexually abused by my friends father for about two years and the depression started when he was sent to prison and I had to move to a new school. I have also had dreams since I was a young child about people intruding my house and this happened even before the depression. I just found out this year by a professional that what I was feeling when I was younger was depression, I was so young I couldn't really comprehend what was happening. So that is what I am feeling is happening here, I never brought it up before because I didn't think it was a cause for concern before.

Very sorry for the organization of this. So many thoughts in my head, dont even know how to describe what I feel in these scared moments.
