PTSD and Anxiety

The police already know @justanptherguy, because not having been able to get what she wanted, - she
wanted to successfully incite other people to force me out of the community, all she managed was to incite them to be hostile to me - the woman then took a false clam to the police in 2020, at the very beginning of the first outbreak of covid19 in Australia. She managed only to get herself charged withand found guilty of causing public mischief as the police found out that allegation was a lie. When people spread a rumour, they're not hurting you, they're inciting others to do so, and others may do so via gossip, reputational damage or other sometimes more physically dangerous means; and when that happens the person initiating the rumour can claim innocence. So even when one calls the police about it, the abuser can simply deny doing it.

Hey @justanotherguy and @Abner, I'm glad you've been able to support each other on something that sounds really tough.

When we're in threads like this, it's often easy to forget that these forums are very public places. On any one day, we have thousands of people reading posts.

While what you're talking about isn't outside of the forums guidelines, it seems the details are quite private.

Just thought I'd pop in here as a moderator and let you know that I recommend skipping over some of the details because of the public nature of the forums ❤️

Glad you've found coping strategies that help! Welcome!
