Sometimes PTSD makes me view "outside" as unbearably dangerous.
I described it to my therapist as
"each time I leave the house I am risking death each time... each time my partner or I leave the house... I am convinced that something bad is going to happen"
Wow, YA...I thought I was the only one who was convince something bad was going to happen! Thanks for sharing this, as it makes me feel better!

Of course, my feelings aren't limited to just going out; I have these feelings all the time, anywhere. Not sure exactly why, but I know I'm going to have to explore this in therapy. Oh, and I also have them regarding my kids and husband, especially if they are later getting home than they say they will be (even if it's 2 or 3 minutes late!).
