Hi all. I will try and make my story as concise as possible in order to get to my real question. I was in an abusive relationship last year/earlier this year, to the point that I became so depressed I attempted suicide. I was hospitalized and worked with a great therapist, but now I am no longer seeing my therapist and I am off my depression meds. Generally I feel a lot better about myself and I know the physical and emotional abuse was not my fault, but my abuser still lives in the same town I do. I dated someone else until a few weeks ago, when he unexpectedly broke up with me. I'm dealing with this as well as I can, but what really makes me upset and nervous is now I feel completely alone while still living in the same town as my abuser. He knows where I live and where I work. The restraining order is up. I really have no reason to believe that he would come after me, but there is always the thought in the back of my mind that nothing would really stop him. I live alone, so if I were to be blindsided no one would necessarily know. Does anyone have any advice to calm down and put the thoughts that are always in the back of my mind at ease?

Thanks for any help.
