I want people to like me, but this is a bit extreme.

Some of you may know this story, either bits and pieces of it or the whole thing. So a brief summary for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about. In March someone began leaving notes on my car while I was at work. At first they were pretty harmless, just a "Hi, how are you?" type deal. Then they began to get creepier. "I'm watching you. I love you." The last note I received commented on everything that I had been wearing for a week, made note of where I lived and where my parents lived and made vague sexual references. I've filed a police report and the cops are being generally unhelpful, saying there's nothing they can do because I have no idea who it could possibly be. Frustrating to say the least.

Then my apartment got broken into.

Whoever it was, possibly the stalker according to the cops, took my laptop and ipod (both good ways of getting to know me better, I should think) and a couple of randome things that don't really matter. Once again, I'm discovering that cops are not interested in helping you until you've actually been physcially hurt. Oh, and also, CSI? Full of lies. They don't actually do any of that stuff.

But here's the prayer request part. Obviously that this person will cut it out and leave me alone and that I'll be safe. Not just physcially safe, but that I'll feel safe walking around and being at work and in my apartment. Because I don't right now. I'm always worried that someone is watching me and I'm afraid to go and do things, which is not a good way to be. Fear accomplishes nothing. Also, my mom is making me move back home a month before my lease is up. Which I understand and quite frankly, I don't want to be in my apartment anymore anyway. But I have a really bad attitude about this. I'm angry that I can't control this situation and that it's forcing me from my apartment (I really love my apartment) and back into my mother's house, a place where the family situation is not exactly great. I've been taking all this anger out on my mom, which is completely unfair. I need an attitude change and I've been trying, but I keep screwing up. Eaiser said than done.
