Paranoia

[scorcerrer]

Call fear what you will, but tonight, it felt too much like paranoia. I have always thought the phrase "I'm only paranoid because they're out to get me" was amusing. I drove back from stone mountain after my weekly night of visiting friends. I needed gas, and the ones near my house close early for some god-forsaken reason. I stopped at the gas

Mer... poor Sam. Don't worry too much. I remember being a bit paranoid for a good year after being mugged. It passes. Just remember to keep your wits about you. There are things you can do to reduce your risk of being mugged again, but there's nothing that eliminates it. So, the fact that it happened-- not your fault, nothing you can do. As for calling 911, well, when we all got mugged, we had violently different reactions. I immediately went into mental shut down mode, some other people couldn't sleep, other people didn't notice anything until they were walking at night and a car door slammed. It's just how your body reacts to trauma. Don't worry about it :)
