Starting back in 2012, i went into year 7. If that isn’t Scary enough,
it was also the year I gained a stalker. As I’m changing and growing, I
had someone watching my every move. Trust me, I never wanted it, or felt
flattered. I felt so belittled and embarrassed, I couldn’t even tell my
own parents. Fast forward to year 12 (2017) I finally told my mum after
so many incidents of being followed and watched during school and one
occasion out of school. My mum was so frustrated and empathetic towards
me going through that and angered she went into school to talk to a
deputy. This went well, as the stalking stopped almost completely! I
didn’t have it in my thoughts constantly like I had during those 5
years. But now, 2 years on as if being anxious and depressed from those
traumatic years of being watched and followed wasn’t enough. He’s back,
at first I thought it would have to be a coincidence, seeing him drive
past my house and look and smile at me, then as I drove he was parked
down the street and followed me until I took a detour. Then he started
appearing outside my work, again I thought there’d have to be another
reason for it so I ruled it to be a coincidence again and again. Until
last week when my neighbour came and asked if we knew someone who was
parking outside our house in a car of his description, at first I said
it would have to be a coincidence, until we had solid evidence that
proved it was him, he had been sitting there at least twice within 3
weeks. I finally go to the police as I never thought it was a real
concern and it was just strictly high school stalking. Now I’m just
waiting to hear back from the police, I’m really struggling with it all,
I’m super anxious, I’m taking measures to reduce my stress and remain
sane. My parents don’t live near me and my boyfriend is away training at
the police academy. If anyone could give me some advice and reassurance
that would be amazing, I also don’t have any friends, so someone to talk
to would be appreciated.
