Do not carry a weapon. No one is going to hurt you. Not everyone carries weapons. No one is talking about you. If you have a therapist this would be a good thing to bring up in therapy. The reason I am telling you this is I am a crime and justice major. I am telling you if you hurt someone with a weapon you will be in so much trouble with the law. The only way hurting someone is self defense is if they attack you first. If you feel threatened take your dog with you if you have one. You can also pretend to talk on your cell phone. No one is going to bother you. I am serious. You need to concider another solution. I would suggest a small can of hair spray in your purse. If someone attacks you, it would hurt their eyes like pepperspray, and give you time to escape. -mona1200
If you ever need to talk, just come see me. I'd enjoy chatting.
Prison is no place for mentally ill. For reacting to your symptoms you will just be put 'in the hole' for behaving badly. A dark alone place. So look down the road a bit. You don't want to go there. DO NOT attack anyone...you can defend yourself only if someone has already hit you. And carrying a weapon is illegal anyway unless you have a special permit to carry. It's good you decided to not have a knife as people suggested. It will only bring you trouble and heartache.
I hope you get medical help/meds to help with your symptoms. That would be the best way to go.
