hi everyone, thank you for the responses and the welcome. it's been a bit of a hard time the last couple of hours so i've tried to keep calm by being with my family and it's helped a lot. the unfortunate thing is that i live at home (i commute) so i cannot go see counseling services at my Uni immediately, i do plan on calling them today once i feel well enough to schedule an appointment as soon as i can.

i did file a police report and was given some suggestions for groups i can contact, though for now i think i'd prefer being in the comfort of my home until i contact a counselor. i feel very helpless since it was an iPhone and i realize now they are stolen frighteningly often. i did have the "find my phone" option set, so **hopefully** i can find it soon..... for all my life that i've lived in los angeles, i never thought experiencing something like this would be this traumatic.
