There’s drug dealings going on where I live
Keep seeing the same person walking past my window and outside. He’s wearing a hood
Just saw him cutting through our estate again this morning
Wearing the same clothes as yesterday
When he gets to the main road, hood goes up and he disappears
I’m worried he has been sent to cause me great harm
I have lots of enemies here
Yeah people are dodgy but thinking they are after you specifically is paranoia. It’s an insidious symptom that paranoia and you just need to keep fighting it. If they are a dealer they don’t want attention so leaving them alone is working for you both.
It’s hard. I get stressed I get paranoid but I know when I think like that it’s my thoughts and not others.
I don’t feel safe here anymore.
Because of my job I can’t really defend myself
If I break the law I lose my job
Till you can move you just need to ignore the extraneous stuff. It’s hard but look after yourself and just do what you need to do. I live next to a poor neighbourhood here. It’s nothing like over there but we have dodgy peeps walking by all the time. Better to just do your thing and not worry about others.
You can always defend yourself. That your thinking in those terms is concerning.
I have many people who would want to see me come to harm
It’s like an amnesia to me. I can’t remember them all
I’m sorry you live in a dodgy neighborhood.
You could move or live with it. The decision is up to you. I know some other people on this forum who live in dodgy neighborhoods but they are still alive!
Do you still have that plan of moving up North and buying a house for you and Mason?
Not that far. But I am going to try and get somewhere in a quieter neighbourhood nearby
Looking at places in a dead end road so it’s less busy
Good luck with the house search!
One of the reasons that caused me a relapse was looking for an apartment to buy. So be careful. It can be more stressful than you think.
That happened to me in 2021
Cost me a job and a new place to live 
Hey mate. Sorry had little bro drop through to use my weights so was doing some socialising.
Reason why your working is to improve your lot and move. I doubt anyone is out to get you because it’s most likely ideation and I know how that goes. Just relax. Do your thing and don’t worry about what others are doing…You can’t help notice people moving through your neighbourhood.
Thanks @rogueone
Freaking out a bit
Can’t wait to move
Need to be as far away from people as possible
Mate. How you feel now might not be how you feel in 6 months. Its a marathon and not a sprint so don’t sell yourself out early. It’s the long game so think of those things you want in your life and move towards them…I dig the isolation because you’ve been disappointed in the past but leave yourself open to new adventures…
Your a good egg and I know you take it way too hard on yourself. You can make a life out there in the universe but you’ve got to take those first steps to integrate.
I am not able to reintegrate

Try to figure out the facts to fight against this. He keeps walking past your window because hes likely a neighbor. Hes wearing the same clothes because he may not have another hoody or might wear the same thing for several days in a row (i do). Maybe he puts up his hoody because he doesnt do well on the main road with all those people. Maybe he has social anxiety or PTSD. There’s usually a logical explanation for the things we are paranoid about, our brain just doesnt want us to see them for some reason.
