Trust your instincts. Don’t downplay the danger. If you feel you are unsafe, you deserve support and should reach out for care. Even if you are unsure about what you are experiencing, you can speak with confidential resources to discuss concerns and options.
If you believe you are being stalked, keep a record or log of each contact with the stalker. Be sure to also document any police reports. Save all e-mails, text messages, photos, and postings on social networking sites as evidence of the stalking behavior.
