How can I get over this experience?!


Question: How can I get over this experience?
3 months ago, I was walking home from a club, and I took a shortcut in an alley, and next thing I knew, I was tackled and being tied up by a masked man. He was much stronger than me, and there was nothing I could do about it. I tried to scream, but I was just too scared. He tied me very tight and gagged me. He then put me over his shoulder and walked to his van, and put me in the back.

As he was driving, he told me that I would never see my friends or family again, and that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. Luckily, apparently someone saw me be being carried to his van, and called the police and told them his numberplate. When he heard sirens, he panicked, drove to a forest area, pulled the car over, and ran away. But he told me before he ran, he kissed me and said "Don't worry baby, I'll be back for you when you least expect it."

They still haven't caught him, and for the past 3 months, I have not left my house, and am constantly looking out my window in fear. What should I do to get over this?? I don't want to live in fear anymore.

1. people that do this stuff are at the same time a bully and a coward
2. they are sick people this world is better without
3. as cowards they "prey" on others less physically strong, and will make comments that make them feel stronger, but only when they have the upper hand
4. his comment to you was made to make him feel stronger and to make you fear him
5. without a mask, tying you up and under his control, he would never dare make this statement being the coward that he is
6. did the police advice you to have protection with you (taser, pepper spray, gun - whatever is legal)?
6.at least get yourself a gadget which you can put on your person like around your waist (that will make a extremely loud and annoying sound), so it cannot be thrown away with your bag or pulled out of/dropped from your hand or pulled of your neck. Try it out before you buy!!! If you want to get away from yourself when it sounds, you got the right one.

The sense that you have something what will both attract help and attention as well as scare of any person with ill will if they get too close will instill confidence. This will also help you regain your confidence to go out and do what you normally would do.

Confidence is attractive to the right people, and tends to keep the wrong people away from you.

Goodluck



That is horrific. You may have post traumatic stress disorder (understandably) and it would be beneficial to talk to a counsellor or psychologist about it and find ways to cope.

Hopefully they catch the freak.
Good luck :)



Have you reported this?
You need to tell someone about what happened to you.
Experiences like this are hard to get over, but eventually the trauma will go away.
But you need to tell someone about this.
