My new neighbor moved in just one week ago today. In this short time my crazy new neighbor, I think, is making me crazy, too. I just want to be away from him and all contact--to know that I am safe. I get notes from him under my door every day, and in the one last night he seems to be confusing his fantasy with reality. I'm obviously not a psychologist, but I think that's a very big problem. Well, that and everything else he said in the letter and all the other happenings of the past week. This last letter has done more to persuade me to contact the police and at least let them know this guy is a problem for me. And for the fact that since I already have PTSD, I have trouble communicating with people like him. I'm saving all my notes from him. I'll take them with if I do talk to the police.

One thing that I am concerned about in going to the police is that I do have PTSD from past experiences. I was emotionless and unresponsive to what my neighbor did that one night. I feel like he thought or that the police might think that it could be considered giving him permission because I didn't say anything for most of it.

Besides all this, my kid's psychologist wants to talk to mine since I was able to squeeze in a couple more appointments before my insurance ends. Now I have to worry how this and other things could potentially affect me, and my kids.

I'm sorry if this seems to be in the wrong forum heading. I really don't know where to post it. I've been posting places according to how I feel. This could maybe go under the PTSD forum, but right now I think I'm just looking for the support. I haven't had a situation like this before and I worry about how my mental health and reactions might affect how the police might respond. I don't know how seriously I would be taken because I didn't tell the guy "no" for a while and I still don't want to have any contact or communication with him. I know in reality that just because my PTSD came into my reaction and I didn't say anything, still doesn't make what he did okay or probably legal. I think he could still maybe be charged with assault or something, but I don't know for sure.

I'd appreciate any kind thoughts, ideas or suggestions. If you have any experience with mental health issues and the police, I'm curious what may have happened and how it all went. Is there anything I should be aware of?
