Just had a prowler outside my window... terrified me.

Oh some homeless guy followed me into the hospital calling me names and tried to get in the elevator with me. I waved my crutch threateningly and told him to go away and he did

Oh my gosh! That is scary...

Yah some mace would be great. A taser would definitely put that person OUT

whatever you get you have to be able to get to easily, and it can't go off by accident in your purse or pocket. Mace has its issues, I quit carrying and gave to daughter in college when I started watching her toddler. a toddler with mace can hurt herself

That’s the point of it

Yah, I know lol...
Creepy man gonna regret all his life decisions when you pull that elctro-gun out

There was one time we were at a book store and this creepy man was inappropriately flirting with my mom (asking her if she had a "baby daddy" )... I'm pretty sure he was high lol.
Then he tried talking with me and it was all really weird.
Then he started to follow us to the car and my mom nearly threw her dang purse at him

Anytime I travel far from home I always carry my pocket knife... It's usually always in one specific compartment in my backpack.

I can use it for survival or defense.

Guy saw me park by a store, drove past me yelling stuff through the window, parked next to the drivers side of my door in an otherwise empty parking lot and came in the store and followed me around for half an hour, left without buying anything and went out to his car and then came back in and followed me more until he finally left and drove away and felt safe enough for me to go out to the car again. Drove to my boyfriends house and My boyfriend then swept the car for trackers. It’s not uncommon

That is not ok... Sorry people are like that in your area. Seems kinda dangerous.
You always have someone with you right? I know you're prone to fainting so I would imagine there is someone you know and trust with you at all times when your out correct?
There are a few places in my area we keep away from during certain times of the day here... There is a food lion parking lot and that is a no go during dusk-night time lol

It’s happened everywhere. Small town, city, in town or not in town, grocery stores or parks. Not just in my area either. Every state I’ve visited. Which is a lot

I usually have someone with me now. Especially since I can’t drive lol. (My poor car must feel neglected )
But going to appointments or places I’m usually just dropped off nearby alone which now is usually when these things happen.

That... That is just awful. I mean seriously. The last thing you need to be worried about is some strange person (generally a guy from stories you've told ) following you with bad intentions... Luckily it sounds like none of your incidents have lead to any really bad things happening it sounds like.

Sadly yes... There are places that feel more safe than others but crime can happen anywhere at anytime. That's just the horrible fact...

That's good Juice. Always have a body guard!!

Have. Someone. Walk. In. With. You. Please. PLEASE
It only takes that one time and something horrible happens

(My poor car must feel neglected )

I know you really might not want to but have you considered selling it? May help you financially with medical bills. Unless of course your family uses that car...

I feel bad for the poor mustang... It's sitting there like: "These wheels are meant to go and GO FAST! I gotta get these axels moving! COME ON LETS GIT UP AND GOOOO!"

There isn’t anyone to walk with me lol the driver has to go park. It’s fine though, I have my crutch club to whack a weirdo with should the need arise

True but maybe try to find a parking spot close to the building and then whoever goes with you can walk you in.
ORRRR they drop you off RIGHT at the entrance and watch you go in. Then they go off, find a parking spot, and meet you inside.
While yes, the crutches do work nicely at knocking sense into people that doesn't stop someone from doing something stupid all the time...

The only reason I ever have someone with me is to prevent people from calling an ambulance if a faint. While yes it is nice to have people there, it’s not practical to have someone with you always. Women have learned what to look out for, self defense etc. we don’t need babysitters

Also there’s never parking spots nearby, and once I’m inside it’s usually fine. I don’t need an escort to my appointment lol.

most cars have a panic button on the key fob. press it and the horn blows repeatedly. keep it in your hand when walking from your car to a store or other destination.
