You're on the Bert show.

Inter and Courtney is struggling with the fact that you guys for the first time in her life,

she might be living in a house without a man.

Sorry, you're worried about living in a house without a man?

Well, everybody talks about how they're so ready to be on their own and get out of their house

and like, let me assure you you're not ready.

Okay, you might think you're ready, you're not. Milk it as long as you can, right?

And I think for me personally, it does come into play that I did have a mobility injury that I've talked about a little bit on air.

So when it comes to like running away I'm a little

bit slower than the rest. And I think for some reason that's gotten my anxiety a little

heightened but like I said for the first time I mean I've always lived with my dad or my

brother and even in college I didn't live on campus and I'm spoken about how I live

with an ex-boyfriend now so I'm to a point where I'm finally ready to be on my own to be my own person

But oh my gosh if the back of if the little voice in the back of my head won't quit saying like what if something happens? What if somebody breaks into your apartment? I feel like Abby can kind of speak to this because I mean as far as I know you live by yourself and you're little kitty

My cat will defend me so I'm not totally by myself. Yeah, and I do have a pit bull who I love and adore, but he's all bark, right?

He will bark his little head off, but he's not actually going to do anything as far as I know.

He's never really been put in a situation, and I hope he's not, right?

But I'm just really curious, I mean, as far as tips and tricks goes, anybody I talked to

about it tells me to buy a weapon, right? And yes, that is a solution. But I don't want my

livelihood to depend on buying a weapon in a society where I feel like I should just be able to live.

Abby, since you are currently single in living alone, can you attest to this?

Like is there, and you are a well-known catastrophizer?
