>>2619408Well yeah you are being watched, there are lots of critters watching you any time you are outside.
What kind of dog do you have? Ive got a really bad dose of the anxieties but still the combination of a good gun (+knife&bearspray) and an alert/competent dog was the cure for my fears in the woods, and i do have grizzly bears and cougars here.
A gun should make you feel mostly safe during the day, but can ofc still leave doubts in your own senses/abilities, like something could sneak up on you, especially at night, thats where the dog comes in; x4 your sense of hearing and x40 your sense of smell, they are beyond superhuman, a good one will alert you if there is a concern, and then promptly die for you if the need arises.
But perhaps another human is what you need to feel safe, you should ofc work towards getting over that if you would like to go out more, but it's a highly effective crutch.
Also, if you're moderately shizo (you are) then Jesus helps, if you're severely shizo (you are) take meds.
