I’m Being Paranoid

Looking for the Light

A little backstory will help here. I was stalked in 2017-2018 by someone I knew on WordPress, I didn’t know it at the time. They stalked me for seven months and wreaked havoc on my life. It started the day my Twitter account was hacked and they made it look like two people I was close to were the ones stalking me. I was completely shocked and for some reason I contacted WordPress, and they told me that the DNS address was one of my close friends. I was even more confused now. Why would they stalk me?

Over the coming months, they hacked my phone and my computer, sending me text messages that didn’t make sense, and when I would be typing a post they would change the words. I started asking them questions like do you plan to hurt me, are you a mean person and similar questions. I received back jibberish but felt they didn’t want to hurt me. The texts were the worst, I had no idea what they were saying so I started asking who they were. I would get back an initial but it didn’t match anyone I knew.  

It ended badly but one day they sent me an initial I recognized, and as soon as I said her name, I never heard from her again. 

Fast forward all these years, and someone from the country she lived in is searching my archives, it’s not a bot just 20 or so posts a day but the hairs went up on my neck. This has been happening for a couple of weeks, and I’ve become paranoid. It doesn’t sound logical but the trauma from the experience came rushing back. I can’t tell who they are, only that they are on Facebook. 

Have you experienced this type of unfounded fear before?

  4. There are a lot of unstable people who do unstable things. I had to avoid my church for about a year because of an unhealthy individual who “liked” me. The pastor didn’t know what to do or how to handle it so thought it best if I attended another church for a while.

    1. She had a severe mental illness and I had tried to help her. I learned the hard way, some people are to sick and they can turn on you. They need the help of a doctor. I wanted to help everyone back in the day but I know better now.

  8. I am not sure if the fear is unfounded, we are sensitive to these things for a reason. I guess the point is to take rational action on what your fear is alerting you too? Even if just being aware & alert. Wow, it is crazy that people stalk others on the internet…there is all sorts of crazy out there! Kind regards…Jay😊
