Ways to feel safe when living alone with two little babies

What are your tips for living by yourself in a home with two little babies? I have bad anxiety and am out of ideas. I have two security cameras and a ring doorbell. I also have pepper spray and a stun gun.

I just moved to a new area and have a baby so I get the anxiety. I would install motion sensor lights around the perimeter of the house to deter burgulars and get to know my neighbors so they can be aware of who you are.

Get a firearm and learn to use it

I had to move, if that’s feasible I’d start there, the firearm is a good idea too learn how to use it, self defense classes. I had to find peace I did that through therapy. That also might help not feeling so alone

I’m a little worried about having a gun in the house, but that’s definitely something I will consider. I really need to learn how to use one well before I feel comfortable having one. I’ve got some PTSD and in the past I just froze, and couldn’t move out of pure terror, so I’m worried if someone broke in and didn’t have a gun, and I was there holding one, they’d take it from me and use it. Idk haha, I just play all these scenarios in my head and it makes the anxiety worse.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and live alone. I have an alarm system, 2 Ring cameras, 7 cameras, and two yelping pups (miniature doxies) 😃

If you ever just need to talk and relieve some of that anxiety and stress you can always message me. Sometimes it be your own mind making you worried for no reason. Been there trust me

@Khadijah thank you!!!:)

@Emily I wish I could get a dog!! I have three cats and an indoor chicken, poor thing has a broken leg and so I rescued her. She gets alotttt of attention, and is very cuddly. But would probably be a tasty snack for a dog 😂
