Not sure if this is ptsd/anxiety related but i had a recurrent dream that i was being followed by my father. I was on my way to work but i felt him following me and turned around and there he was. He wanted to make sure i got into work safe. I woke up angry and in sweats. 

When i was younger i had my parents plant tracking devices on my phone. Which was fine because I thought that if i ended up in a ditch somewhere at least they’ll rush to me. However, they didn’t use it in a healthy manner. I’d get calls from my mon asking me “why am i at that store? What am i doing there”? To which i’d reply im hanging out with friends. Then my dad would call and yell at me because i was in a certain area past 8pm and that’s when notorious gangs come out. Fyi, there were none and even if there were gangs, they’re not coming out at 8pm. 

I screwed up one time and ditched class early (6th period which is the last class of the day) and got a phone call promptly as I jumped the gate to grab icecream. It scared the heck out of me and made me fall so i ended up with bruises. It was my dad asking me why my location was off campus way before class ended. I didn’t think he would KNOW right away. Thought he checked my location every 3 hours not every 3 minutes. 

Anyway, I got ptsd over being stalked/followed everytime my parents showed up to my location or texted me about it. It really messed up my freedom and i was scared to even go anywhere.
