When I was little, i lived in segregated down south, where the KKK was always lynching somebody, My mother being white with a black Boyfriend(no church would marry them, niether the city hall) would always look out the window when she heard something, I still do this today...at 35...and they would set up at night, listening for anyone coming around, because they would throw lit gas bottles at black peoples houses. We moved from there 20 years ago, but for some reason i still carry those fears around. Not all the time..but sometimes I get in a phase where i wont sleep at all at night for two or three days. I find sleeping in the day time more peaceful. Other than seeing a shrink...cause i know what they would say...It's in the past...face your fears, those things...but I can't shake the habit. I looked out the window so much...that when my dog hears something...he goes looking through the blinds...(i know)...anyone else has this going on?
