No, you aren't the only one that is sensitive to this male behavior. I too get hit on CONSTANTLY at a young woman and as a result I feel uncomfortable in public. I am a server at a restaurant and bar, so this is something I have to deal with daily. The worst part of it is that in a work...

I have been in your situation before and have had panic attacks because I was convinced that someone was in my apartment. What I do is simple: breathe and slow my mind. When I feel my thoughts and heart racing, I tell myself to breathe. Also something that helps is to look around your apartment...

I don't really believe in God, but I don't disbelieve in him either-he just isn't what I draw my energy from. I draw my energy from the Earth. This is why I find myself MUCH...

Melatonin DEFINITELY knocks me out when I can't sleep. I used to take it every day, but I believe that it reduced the effectiveness. I only use it when I NEED it :) 5 mg, by pill.

Thank you all for the support! Glad to know that I am not the only one.
