How do I become more confident when home alone at night with my two year old?

My husband doesn't get home until 12:30am, and after it gets dark I get so paranoid and scared. I lived in this house alone for three years before my husband and I married, but since our son was born a couple of years ago, I'm so paranoid to be home alone. I think I hear things all the time outside, and the other night there was someone walking around by our house (I saw them) and I just froze, called my husband and begged him to come home. I'm terrified to the point where I can barely move. He never bothered us, and I have a gun in the bedroom, but I'm still scared every night. It's like, knowing that I'm solely responsible for his safety is too much for me. I'm nervous all the time and it causes me to get short with him. I try and make hm stay quiet and get really upset when he makes loud noises.. IDK what to do. Should I talk to someone about this or am I just a freak? :/
