Develop A Support System:
Keep in touch with friends who are supportive and understanding. Tell someone about each encounter with the stalker.
You May Experience Extreme Stress and Trauma and Want To Seek Assistance:
You may begin to experience rage, terror, suspicions, an inability to trust anyone, depression, changes in sleeping and/or eating patterns, exhaustion, and/or frequent crying spells.
