This is definitely what I don't need right now.  I feel like I'm turning into a paranoid schitzo or some crap.  My anxiety has been high lately and I've been managing to get through school and work with it decent so far and now this happens.

I get this random phone call last night from this random number.  It's a completely strange voicemail, some guy talking about how he has testicular cancer and needs someone to confide in and how he needs to talk to me.  I finally decide (dumb move) today to txt him back and ask who it is.  I get txtd back the whole guess who it is game.  Really strange stuff, I can't even say some of the crap that he says because it's just downright raunchy and really out there. I have all the txts back and forth saved on my phone and have no idea who this freaking guy is.

One thing I do know though, is that I had two anxiety friends who lived in the area of the area code that is calling me.  I stopped talking to both of them I think because I complained and worried too much and became a pain via txts with them.  But both of them were female and weren't male.  I know one of them said they had a crazy ex and I'm hoping that this isn't him.  I've debated calling the cops but he hasn't really threatened anything.  All he keeps saying is he wants to hang out and chill sometime, I don't even know who the **** it is!

It's making me nervous/angry as hell.  I don't need this crap right now while I'm trying to work on relaxing and getting better.  This is just going to throw my school/work/mood totally out of whack.  I feel like maybe it is that guy or maybe one of her friends getting back at me for not continuing to talk to them.  Regardless I'm pretty weirded out by it, I don't really think that anything will come of it and don't think it's something that will really materialize into a face to face or robbery/whatever the hell the guy is looking to do.  But it just freaks me out, and I'm absolutely pissed.  I want to go over there and rip this guys throat out but he sounds out of his mind.  I don't need to be messing around or pissing off a guy who's like that colorado guy, that's what I keep thinking about.  What the hell did I somehow get myself into here?

Dealing with obscene phonecalls and messages are never fun, and can be scary, nerve wracking and mind boggling. Don't let it get to you, it sounds like a game. Someone is trying to get to you, whether it be the friends, or the crazy ex, don't show fear or be scared.

The best thing to do, is totally ignore, don't be tempted to respond, it will let whomever know that you don't care and know its a game. That will get them irritated enough to give up and get bored.

If it does continue to a point where you feel threatened, nervous or just feel harrassed, do phone the Police, they will track down who it is and have them stop. But for now, ignore it and see if they stop. :) Hope it all works out and keep updating.

Thanks flashing, I'm sitting here just quietly raging and keep glancing at my phone every 5 min to see if its ringing or going off. This reminds me of how I was after I got robbed/choked unconscious about 3 years ago. At that time I had my wallet and phone stolen and I started getting really weird phone calls and txts from a blocked number non stop for about a month until I eventually changed my number.

It's way too early to start changing my number, but maybe that's the best move if this continues. It's only been a day though and I probably made it 100x worse by responding. You're right, best course of action is to just let it go and try to not give a crap. Can't help that it gets my nerves going and makes me want to choke this guy through the phone though.

Anytime! Knowing that you got robbed and stuff that must deffinatly must scare you and is something traumatic that happened. I understand completely how this could make your nerves even more shaken. And then having those phone calls afterwards, I feel truly bad for you.

Whomever is doing this to you is a cruel person if they know about your past and the event. If best, shut your phone off and keep your mind away from it. I know you are anxious seeing what is said next because you are scared of a threat. Don't be, you're fine, whatever makes you feel better do.

If you feel changing your number will help, do it. Give your new number to people you trust, others will contact you for it and you will be able to decide who you will give it to.

People are nuts, but know its not you. People who bother other people for self benefit are the ones who need help and are immature. Don't let it get to you, and if it does, phone the police. You have a right to feeling this way. :) Here to talk always and reassure you!

Thanks, I took your advice and stopped calling or txting back that random number. I didn't receive any txts or phone calls yesterday so that's a good sign, only been a day though lol. I don't know who the hell it is and that's what is so frustrating. Hopefully it's just a friend of theirs or some random person just being weird. I get so nervous and angry though, I hate how I get like that. Wish I could just be like my friends sometimes, they seem to brush stuff off much more easily then I do. Especially when I see my father deal with stuff with his friends/family/or at work. He's a million times better at letting things go, and seems to have no fears when it comes to this kind of stuff. Hopefully it just stays in the past and it doesn't continue since I'll be ignoring it.
