Things have been hard for you recently, and this will take some time to adjust to. Waking up at 2 am thinking we’ve heard something happens to us all, I think though for most of us its just possums or rats or a piece of household equipment falling over (thank you cats). You are being exceptionally mature about this, especially since the threat is probably still quite real.

Thank you TW. The nosies thing has happened before, but it’s affecting me a lot more now because I’m pretty sure it’s all in my head

The real problem is that one can’t just assume that ‘its all in my head’ cos when you do that - its real. Heightened alertness is a known side effect of trauma - and I consider the ex-housemate as trauma on legs. Be gentle with yourself - the hyperalertness will dissipate over time. Sucks to go through it though.
