I used to be afraid to go for walks too. Even though, I love to go for walks. I'm not really sure what all has changed now. But I'm not afraid of my kidnapper anymore. I'm not afraid that he will come get me. But when I had to walk to the mailbox, I was even afraid of strangers. So, I can't understand why I'm not so much anymore. I even take walks at night with my son in his stroller now. I just don't feel like an immediate attack is as likely. And I used to have to hold my cell phone with 911 already on the screen, holding my thumb over the talk button everytime I went out before. It was really bad.
Maybe you could get a dog (or walk other people's dogs) or carry mace and keep a cell phone on you when you go out for walks, so that you know you have a way to protect yourself if anyone tries to hurt you. Even if you have a cell phone thats not in service, it will still dial 911.
