Paraniod NUT!

I'm seriously turning into a paranoid nut.  Thankfully yesterday I was on the 'road' for work so didn't have to be in my office, but today I was just terrified to come in.  Last night while I was driving home and laying in bed all I could think about was that creep who followed me to my office.  I replay the entire situation over and over again and thinking what I could have done differently.  Then I think, well if I did do it differently he could have done something else.  I really can't get it out of my head.  I hate being afraid walking around every corner. 

Last night when I got home Aaron had some pepper spray waiting for me. 

This morning after I parked my car I sat in my car until someone else pulled up that I could ride the elevator with.  Then after we got out I had the pepper spray in my hand and kept looking over my shoulder walking to work just to see if anyone was 'around'.

When I got to my office building there was no one to ride up with so I looked around all the corners before I got in the elevator, then when I got off the elevator looked around the corners again before I went into my office and slammed my door.  This part will probably sound pretty stupid, but the door handle to the bathroom on my floor was slightly twisted downward (which it never is) so I'm now scared that someone was hiding in the bathroom.

 Please tell me I'm just paranoid and I need to get over it. 

Sorry this is so long.  Early happy hour for anyone who reads it! Drinks

  • You poor thing!  I would be feeling exactly the same way!  Just keep your pepper spray with you.  I'm sure the creep is long gone by now, but just continue being aware of your surroundings.  Will anyone else be coming into the office today?
  • I'm sure he probably won't be back, but I think it is a good idea to continue to be aware of your surroundings just in case.

  • Thanks ladies.  As is 90% of the time I'm the only one in my office.  The PAC in the office next to me is in today, but they are in and out most of the day.  I just can't wait until this feeling goes away.

    I'm sorry Tracy. I would be too! We had a guy break into our apartment in college and I still freak out about it sometimes. I bet he wont be back either

  • I would imagine you're feeling everything any normal person would feel after having something like that happen. I'm glad u got some pepper spray. Eventually those feelings will subside the further in time u are from this incident. I always walk with my keys between each of my fingers with a close fist when I'm alone at night. This way, if anyone comes at me, they're getting knocked out with a spiked fist (omg, how friggin guinnea Brooklyn is that...?)

  • Tracy I would be doing the exact same thing. I think it's okay for you to be a little paranoid for ahwile and definitely good that you're being aware of your surroundings.
