So yesterday I had an encounter with a homeless woman, she looked like she was sick (I guessed schizophrenia). I am not really great at social situations and I have a social phobia, so I had no idea what to do, she just blocked my way and wouldn’t let me go and I was really scared that she would hurt me or something. Well of course she didn’t need help or anything, she just wanted money, but I couldn’t think straight because she would just randomly scream and she was standing so close to me. Anyway, I gave her money to go away, but I had a complete breakdown once I got home. I couldn’t sleep at night, I’ve been crying for hours and now I’m scared to go out of my apartment. The worst thing is that I’m suposed to go somewhere in the evening and I will be at the same underground station, it’s also on my way to work, and I’m terrified that I will experience something like that again. I tried to tell my parents but of course they didn’t understand. I had pepper spray with me, but I didn’t really want to use it inside, I have no idea what to do if something like that happens again.
