Has anyone here ever been stalked?

I just took my meds. So, I will be calm, sleepy, and better hopefully in a short while. I was just freaked out by someone but I don't think they have enough information to get to me.

Yes, I ma okay. I sold my house and my car and moved into another city
I quit my job because he knew where I worked
I grew my hair long
I carry a flick knife and there are bats all over my house.
I still have camera us, even at the new place

Wow. Yes it can be scary. Especially when you are not sure.

Is your paranoia at play here?

I went through that period where I thought I was being stalked. Later I found out if was true. Not just my imagination. I was relieved and not at the same time.

Nope. It would freak anyone out.

I wanted to check that too. Make sure its not part of BP dulusions, not saying it is, but at least it's something to think about. Hugs

I'm concerned either way and in NO way downplaying your fear. It's just with the paranoia lately I'm wondering if this could be a symptom. Call your pdoc today and demand he get with the program in helping you.

I'll PM you guys.

Cas that person asked for my real name eArlier...

I've learned that I more than likely have someone who I don't know well clinging to me and not a stalker. But, I can't take the paranoia. Have I shared to much on this site? Am I really in danger? Worse, is my family in danger??!!

My t really tried to reassure me. Have I ever given my address she asked? No. Have I given my phone number? Only once and to someone I have known on here for some time and trust. Then there is fb...I have become good friends with some of you and I don't see anything dangerous there. Plus, I haven't put my address or phone number on fb anyway. Still...I worry incessantly.

I really glad you were able to talk to your T and I'm really glad to hear from you. Hang in there

My husband was stalked by an exfriend in past. It was horrible for months, she also called us per phone in the night. Later we changed the number and for gods sake that helped. I hope you will be fine soon. Stalkers are so frightening. I am really scared of this!

Cashart,

You asked for my fb, and we both now have each others in life info- that wasn't something I felt comfortable with but I also felt you would be a safe person. And I was right. However - the reason I don't use my real name on here is because I have been stalked and have exhibited stalking traits with some men in my life.

I am saying this in public to protect you and anyone else. I do not think people should share their real life stuff. At least, they should know each other pretty well for a long time first. For as well meaning as we might want to be, many of us are people who have traits that can border on obsession and delusion.

I am sorry someone is making you uncomfortable. Draw a sharp line in the sand so they cannot contact you or gain further info. I suggest block on facebook, delete and unfriend everywhere, do not indulge in reading their stuff - but get a file in your e-mail and stuff all their letters in there. Anything you have or get try to put somewhere.

And ask yourself, "What are you not getting in real life that causes you to seek out more intimate friendships"? Share everything with your pdoc, and don't be afraid of what the reality of why might be.

Good luck,
Imah

Thanks Imah! That is great advice. Fortunately, this is someone who I had in no way connected. I had barely even ever spoken to them. However, it caused me to take down my pic on here, recognize the importance of masking my name and pray that I had never revealed too much. I don't think I have but it sure scared me considerably.

I hope you are fine and safe dear women. We have enough difficulty living with our own daily responsibilities while facing constant mental battles without some jerk mucking it up.

My own stalker was in my every day life. Work, phone, letters, contacting family and employers, breaking in, threats to myself and my son. 21 months / FBI eventually got involved. It was over 10 years before I didn't cringe when the phone rang. He died in 2007. Its terrible of me to say - but I have felt more safe in the world with him gone.

But there are others in the world. Grasping souls who feel a connection - real or imagined. Then attempt to devour us to fill their own perceived endless emptiness. One human cannot fill the dysfunctional need of another. Because the emptiness comes from within.
