How Long Does It Take You Currently To Recover From An Altercation With A Threatening Person?

[junglegirl]

I have a distant neighbor who does not live within two blocks of me but who is very threatened by me andso has become threatening towards me due to her jealousy. Today she physically assaulted me by throwng stones and I called the police and made a report and my landlord and other neighbors gave me loving support however due to past trauma I still feel wired. I was just wondering how long it takes you to recover from a toxic person attacking and terrorizing you because they are abusers by nature.

I think that would put me back months. But perhaps the loving support would take me to a new understanding that people can care about it.

I'm sorry that this person has reacted this way to you, and for the effect it has on you. But I don't think there is a time, it is something you have to work through at your own pace.

Sorry that that happened to you :( I am not sure I ever completely recover. It's more like bad experiences can be push away by more recent things but not erased.

It takes me a very very long time.

It would take me months and I would somehow turn it around in my head to make it my fault so I could even beat myself up worse, even though I new it wasn't my fault.

I really hope you get lots of support and can put it behind you where it belongs, try not to take it on board, I know it easier to say than do

Take care

Hi I feel better already. I guess I have healed more than I knew :) I have put it n perspective and am no lnger preoccupied. Thank you for your responses. It used to take me months and months then a month or two then weeks then days now hours. I am grateful to goodness for healing me and helping me and to myself for thinking it through.

I am so pleased you have come so far, it gives the rest of us hope, it can be a very scary place from where I'm sitting, sometimes I think I am never going to get there, it seems so far away to be what most people take for granted a little bit of normality in my life

Take care

It takes a just a couple of mins... *thump thump* as they become a speed bump.

Just kidding, I no longer drive.

Kudos to you on how well you handled it! I am not yet at a place where I could let it slide. Maybe when I was younger but now? She's have gotten a rock straight to her third eye.

I am so glad you called the police and made a report. She sounds like a psycho. I am sad this happened to you. Take all the time you need to recover and heal from this insanity. I am very happy you had support and validation of your being assaulted.

Hi guys,
Thank you for your loving responses; I have been going to the spa swimming daily to relax and feel good.:) I really needed it after THE INCIDENT. But I am more than fine now. I feel calm and great- exercise and swimming for me especially, really helps. Today was a bit rough cuz I didn'tget my proper sleep but otherwise I have been thriving and have even got my mojo back.;)
Hugz,
Tatiana

Throwing rocks at you? If someone threw rocks at me maliciously, I guarantee you no stone that hit me would be worse than me dealing with her. I don't put up with that crap.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," the Bible quotes. However, they would under citizen's arrest for assault AND I would make sure they were put in a hold where they would never be able to get up and hurt another person.
