I have a lot on my mind. Kind of a while ago, I had posted about an issue I was having with a former male friend of mine. He has been wanting to date me and I tolerated a lot of bad things that he has done to me. After several threats and what happened the last time we hung out, I got a restraining order because he is pretty unstable. He tried to confront me when I was leaving work so I called the police. I heard that the guy that I called the police on for violating the restraining order is very angry with me. He claims that he was trying to make peace with me and how dare I call the police on him. Now I am concerned that he will try something. I know deep down that this will not end until he does try something. It is a bad way to look at it but at some point it has to hit that point. Hes very angry and mad at me so I am sure he is thinking of what to do. I am probably letting my mind run too far with this. I know what he could do and I am scared because I had been raped before more than once and I cannot go through that again.This is causing me so much stress that I do not need. I am trying to work through a lot of past issues and this is not helping. I have only been sober from cocaine since March 19th. Prior to that, I was just over a year sober. However things fell apart that night and of course that was the last time I hung out with that guy. What happened that night pushed me to cut off contact with him. I am just looking for support since I am alone a lot since my boyfriend is deployed. Thanks for listening to me vent. So if something doesn't make sense, my mind jumps a lot.

Well, all I can say is that you need to take abuse very seriously and don't be afraid to call in the authorities if the situation calls for it. You say you've "only" been sober from cocaine since March 19, but you've done it every day since then, and that is an accomplishment too.

im proud of you for trying to stay away from cocaine. if you need a friend i will be here just send me a message, i'm pretty far away but the least bit of support helps. my advice to you is atleast have pepper spray and a fone close at hand at all times.

Thank you! I need people to talk to about this and I don't have any here. I do keep my phone with me and I have pepper spray. I have a bad feeling that he will try something and I hate this whole situation. I wish it would just be over. I am still sober but i get very tempted when things like this are happening because I want to escape it all by using. I want to move but I dont know where i would go or where to even start. I havent been sleeping and I am so terrified of him.
