So this might sound really weird but basically, I got an anonymous message on a writing site that said "kys". This wouldn't bother me usually, but still, it triggered my anxiety and got me paranoid that an ex was the one who sent it. On the post they commented on, it is related to something that we both used to like, which makes me even more nervous. They were also very blunt and have directly sent messages to me like that (not anymore though. they only sent it when I tried to interact with them so it was mostly my fault). A big worry of mine as I am online a lot, it that they are secretly stalking me through social media. I'm so scared but I don't want to delete the post as I've worked very hard on it. does anybody relate or have similar stories (or advice for dealing with it) as i feel kind of silly about this.

I know what it feels like to be afraid of an ex. I still am even though i havn't sen him in 20 years. Im afraid he'll come to hurt me. Then i have to tell myself i'm away from him and had an order of protection on him. Also the feeling is scarry, but i think if you are that worried you should get an order of protection or some document saying you don't want them near you.

I have had triggers too that sound stupid to most people (I know recently one of them was a set of stairs because I fell down them), it was real to me though- and likewise this trigger is real to you

take care of yourself
