You know the problem with being neurotic is that in everything you do, it's a battle to overcome neuroses. Or more like it's a battle to convince yourself that this time, you're just making shit up and that it's not what you think and that it's nothing of the sort and you should just stop thinking those bad thoughts. So you buckle up, try to keep thinking good thoughts, and focus on what is and what is just in your head. Except that inevitably the thing that your neurotic mind tells you is going on turns out to be what is really going on. Isn't there some line about just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you.

And then a similar situation happens and you tell yourself, no, this time I'm not going to be neurotic about it and instead you only make yourself that much more neurotic but still keep your chin up, only to discover that once again, your paranoia and your reality is pretty much one in the same.

And so you just kind of decide maybe it's better to sign up for Netflix and give yourself even more of an excuse never to leave the apartment.
