Been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately, and I’m not sure how to deal with it. I have a constant feeling in my heart that something terrible is going to happen to me or my loved ones. I cannot go into public without having a mini breakdown because I’m scared of getting hurt by another person / stranger. Last May I was attacked by my freshman roommate, and ever since then I have had the worst luck with being in public. I can’t be in rooms with strangers or in big city settings without thinking that someone is going to hurt me. 

I don’t know why my brain and body is going in panic mode or working this way. It’s just really unfamiliar to me as I used to be a very bubbly and outgoing person. Does anyone else have this same fear? 
I went to the supermarket with my mother a couple of weeks ago and I had to stand in the corner of Trader Joe’s because I thought somebody was going to stab me. It’s not a great feeling :(

&lt;3 anything helps - I hope you’re having an amazing day
