too scared

[LozziRAWR]

After what happened today, I feel like I can't go outside alone anymore. My best friends Matthew and Anna are always with me because I don't feel safe without them. The first time I managed to leave the house on my own, because I thought I would be safe, I was folllowed by a guy in the street. He grabbed me and shouted after me when I ran. I called the police, and they are going to find him, but I am too scared to leave the house even for school on my own.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I understand how you feel, I'm slowly growing to get over my issues, but whenever something happens to trigger me, I have to start back at square one. Though this is a bit different, as something actually did happen (as opposed to my typical episodes, the worst of which was when I had to be patted down at the airport, and is usually as mild as a guy trying to hug me) so I'm really feeling for you now. I hope you can recover and get back on your feet soon. It'll be hard, but eventually I'm sure you can get there :)

I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't really know what to say. Maybe you wanna try always going out with somebody with you? That's safe even if you don't have triggers. :/

Hi LozziRAWR,
Don't be scared anymore. You already know how to deal with any condition as you called the cops. That guy will never put his hands on you as he will also know the consequences.
Try to keep a dog and take your dog with you. You will get more secure.

I have a dog, but he's not very intimidating really. Mostly I just avoid that street on my own now, and spend most of my time outside with a bunch of people, I guess it was just the initial stress that caused me to not go outside!
Thanks for all your help guys x
