I’m very tired

For the last 3 months someone has been knocking on my door at 2am and just last week someone threw a brick with a carving “help” through my window.


I don’t feel safe here, and haven’t been able to sleep for the past couple of days. I don’t know what to do because my parent is out of town on a business trip and will be back in 3 days.


what should I do?


I kinda just want to give up.

I hope you know not to open your door. It sound like someone is targeting you, maybe hoping that if they keep knocking you will answer the door. The brick with the word help seems like a ploy to lure you into being curious. Stay inside, be sure your windows and doors are locked. Can you call your parent on the phone?

There is no reason to give up. Perhaps your parent can arrange for you to stay with a relative or allow you have a friend stay with you if they leave again. If you can contact them on the phone maybe the can approve a friend to stay with you now.

Whoa. Parallel lives. Well similar anyway. I agree with the post above. Never never open your door. Report it to police and they might do drive bys. Maybe even stay with a friend until your parent comes home if this is possible. Good luck

All very good advice. If you can’t stay with a friend then I would recommend sleeping with a baseball bat/tennis racquet or similar nearby. I don’t like violence but there is no harm in a bit of self defence insurance. Stay safe stay well

Kind regards

Have 911 on speed dial. Know that if you call 911 they will trace the call to your location so you don't even have to speak.

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
