How do you know if someone is stalking you?

  • Is someone following you wherever you go?
  • Is someone calling you to the point that you feel harassed? Is someone calling you several times and then hanging up?
  • Is someone damaging your belongings or property?
  • Are you receiving gifts, letters, emails, etc. that you don't want?
  • Do you feel someone is keeping track of your phone calls and computer use?
  • Is someone using cameras and GPS technology to keep track of you?
  • Do you notice anyone standing, walking, and/or driving by your home and job, or anywhere that you frequent?
  • Have you been threatened? How about any of your family members? Your friends? Your pets?
  • Has anyone gathered information about you via internet research or private investigators? Does it seem like anyone's gone through your garbage? Has anyone approached your family, friends, or co-workers and asked about you?
  • Are there other ways that someone has caused you fear or threatened your safety?
  • Are you anxious, overwhelmed, and confused?
  • Do you have eating problems and flashbacks?

REMEMBER - "You are not to blame for a stalker's behavior."
