Lost, alone & can't even think

My anxiety and panic attacks have gotten worse and worse since decreasing Wellbutrin, but that's a different issue. My situation is that I have one neighbor. I'm surrounded by woods, I love it and they are great. The wife babysits my daughter and my daughter loves them all. My problem is the husband who has made some not so subtle comments since my abusive husband left. He stopped for awhile. Tomorrow the wife is taking her kids and my daughter to the beach for a week. And my sons are going to their dads (previous marriage) for a few days. So the neighbor has been full on with the comments, the last one was "you can keep me busy, youll be alone too remember". I'm not amused, I'm not tempted, I'm disgusted. I have ZERO RESERVE for any thing else at this point. And this situation has sent me into a tailspin. I'm already isolated. I already feel very alone. I have no idea what to do. And I'm in such a panic mode that I can't even think clearly which should be easy. He knows about my husband, does he think I need this crap?? I don't want to find myself in a situation where I'm just a deer in headlights, and I'm already close.
 
A clear, firm "I am NOT interested in any of that. Let's stop with the comments. They make me very uncomfortable."

This man is clearly pushing to see how far you'll allow him to get. You don't need to put up with that shit from men. Don't bother being nice about it. His comments show he's a sleezebag who doesn't deserve "nice." Be firm. That dog needs to sniff elsewhere.

I used to be immobilized by fear every time this has happened to me over the decades. Now, I just am sick of this regular bullshit from men.

Good men don't do this crap. Men like this will usually back off, even though they'll sometimes show their true jerk self in the process. If he doesn't back off and be respectful, chances are you'd not want your child to have contact with him despite his nice wife. What a pig!

Trust yourself to deal with whatever comes up. You've been through so much this turd has so little power in your life.
