Can you identify if you're feeling physically unsafe or emotionally unsafe?
My husband used to travel for work a lot more than he does now. When he was gone, I always felt anxious and unsafe. It wasn't a physical thing at all. We live in a safe neighborhood with alert involved neighbors. We've got a good security system, and at the time (and in the near future I'm sure) I had a pretty good protective dog. In fact, I had a houseful of dogs for company so I wasn't even lonely. Yet still I felt anxious.
I'm not sure if it was because I knew he wasn't around if I needed him, or if it was a change in routine.
If you're feeling physically unsafe there are all sorts of additional protection. But if you're feeling emotionally unsafe, maybe a different sort of protection is called for?
Just my recollections, for what it's worth.
