She never stated she didn't. there was more she didn't want to get into. people making assumptions that shes not involving the police or wont or that she hasn't thought of that is ridiculous @@thebrookealyson
This entire video is an example of why we need to work hard for positive change and RESPECT for privacy and personal security. Women should not have to feel like they're putting their life on the line every time they put their face on a video or photo or just simply walking out their front door. I'm so sad to hear such things happened or are happening to one of the kindest people on the Internet.
Sadly this is EXACTLY why women should hire a professional to clean up their previous internet presence and to teach them how to protect their privacy Sadly i know where most of my fave internet girls live because they show their house numbers, their cars, street signs or will say "this store is 7 minutes from my house" And then to come to the sad and harsh reality: when you become famous ppl WILL come to your house. Its not an if its a WHEN and what will they do ... This is where a security team needs to be consulted on how to protect yourself and your home - or may even require moving to a more secure home Why do you think when youtubers become rich they move to gated communities?
@@topicsandtea This is a very real thing. Every celeb and president and those who become high in their field do this. Its scrubbing your name and old posts from the internet. For example if you made contridictary posts about your field a decade ago. Or made comments that did not age well. Or maybe posted your family's real name and address on a Facebook page years ago. Or accidently posted your home address on a Facebook marketplace. All sorts of things need to be removed from the internet. Do YOU remember every detail & click you've EVER made on the internet? No. No one does But you know who WILL find out : hackers and ppl with ill intentions. 🥰 Stay safe out there
Even sending gifts to the address that was not publicly shared is extremely suspicious no matter how much these people convince themselves it’s from a good place. And then getting mad at you is even weirder. Sorry you’re going through this. Please, be safe and contact the authorities, have something on you to defend yourself 💚
Yeah, this sending packages at a private address that you did not explicitly ask for is NOT “sweet” or normal in any way whatsoever. And even more suspicious that they got upset. That shows deep sense of entitlement and may indicate psychopathy. Definitely a serious concern.
To anyone who comes to the comments wondering if they’ve overstepped a line: if you give someone a gift, remember that they did not ask you to, and they owe you nothing in return. If you think they do owe you for something they didn’t request, you are trying to have coercive relationships where you purchase someone’s attention with gifts. That isn’t a relationship, it’s a transaction. If you are a fan or admire someone, please have the respect to remember that they should be treated as humans and not as products.
Parasocial situations are scary to most people, but just infuriating to me. I am an avid believer in total autonomy and self preservation...so when someone feels as though they are entitled to someone else's body, mind and life it pushes my buttons. No one owes you attention, words, or interaction. ESPECIALLY of you don't even know them. We need to remember that internet personalities, celebrities, etc. are people too. I am so sorry that you're going through this, but I'm glad you're talking about it because we need to stop treating situations like this as taboo. It happens and we NEED to have this conversation, and stop punishing those who experience it, rather than the aggressor. Protect yourself at ANY cost(get a strap)...because at the end of the day, stalking situations are not taken very seriously, and it's best not to rely too heavily on other people to help you if you need it.
@@psychopompous3207Your whole comment ignored the validity of the OP comment and focused on one word, which you seem to think indicates where they live and says something about them. Whose “hood?” What does it mean to “be hood.” It’s coded language and we all know it. Stop being ignorant. If you can’t figure it out for yourself, that’s what Google is for.
I haven't been a viewer, but the algorithm pushed me this video and I'd like to say: as a fellow female creator on youtube who has also dealt with in-person stalking, I want to thank you for sharing your story and please feel free to reach out to me for moral support. Sending my love. - Lyss.
That was the hardest part for me to grasp when I was 19. I really thought I could reason with mine and he would respect my boundaries. I learned that he was not living in reality, and he did not give a shit if he was making me uncomfortable, or eventually terrified. The advice at that time was to just keep telling them how they are making you feel, and trying to get them to accept you aren’t interested ‘without being mean.’ What I wish I’d done is just never said a word to him the moment he found my MySpace (that’s how old I am, lol) and kept blowing me up. I knew it was weird but I never really thought I could have a stalker without it being an ex or without me being famous or something. I have a friend who has a guy stalking her at her work, now, and I have been trying to help her through it.
People who stalk are 95+% men, so this is a toxic male problem, who pretty much always know what they're doing and it's intentional. They 100% know their behavior is frightening. The blame is with these toxic predatory men, and the other toxic men who do nothing about it and force women to live in fear.
To all stalkers out there: seek help immediately. See a psychologist before it’s too late. Otherwise, the world will turn against you and you will be completely on your own. There is still hope for you in this life, regardless of how badly your parents or others have messed you up. And the first step starts NOW. You will forever leave Annabel Margaret alone.
The victims of stalking should probably be the focus of concern, and not the stalkers themselves. They know they are causing suffering, and that’s often their objective. I had one for 6 years. It was a nightmare. There is no way my stalker thought I was enjoying it, or that I could love someone who did the things he did. If you are stalking someone it already is ‘too late’ in a lot of ways. It’s like any form of abuse. There’s certain lines where if you cross them, you can’t really become a decent person on the eyes of many people. At some point people will find out, even 10 years later, and distance themselves because they will never feel safe around you again. Plus, I am not sure that treatment is likely to be successful because most have some very dark psychology that is near-impossible to treat, due to therapists and psychologists not being comfortable taking that risk. People are far too compassionate on stalkers. My advice for them would be to move far away from their victim and stay away from people who could likely become future victims. They are often like serial killers, due to having a type.
@baileymoran8585 with all due respect no one is compassionate towards stalkers, myself included, and my comment is the only comment here among all others that are about the victims)
Just hurt my heart when you said you learned your lesson and now put curtains up. You should not feel as if you have done anything wrong and need to put curtains up. May you be safe always! Your content is so so beautiful and thoughtful. I am grateful for it!
The most dangerous thing is not a animal per se but a human. Keep yourself safe, situational awareness, look into arming yourself in some way regardless for personal safety and piece of mind. Please be careful.
I literally moved in with friends and slept on the couch just because there were 3 other people living in that apartment and I would be unlikely to be alone. I also had to take the stickers off my car, including my student parking pass. I got a new one I could put on my dash and take off when I wasn’t in class. I I also had to change jobs because my boss was a dick about me refusing to take him, but I decided not to tell anyone where I worked. I also had to commute to the farther campus an hour away because he knew where I was going to school. It was exhausting. He would still find me. It was a small college town. I stopped dating (until I met my husband, who didn’t run when a crazy guy showed up on our date and pulled a knife on him), having any kind of social life, and eventually left the state.
You poor girl!! This is one of my biggest nightmares. Some people are so messed up. Good that you have two dogs and got the camera and speak about this. They need to know that we know and taking measures.
This happened to my friend and she was able to get out of the situation however you do need to call the police with each incident. You need to collect evidence of the incident and get a door cam to find out who it is so you can press charges and get a restraining order for life. You got this! Stalkers love making the person feel scared and vulnerable so you may want to refrain from posting like that because it could egg them on. They typically are not mentally well and live off the power high. I was stalked too and I ended up moving cities honestly but that meant being closer to home. Stalkers can feel very psychologically draining but remember others have gotten out of it and so can you.
Please be careful, Annie. Someone trying to dig out your deadbolt is not someone who just wants attention. It could be anything from trying to steal something someone saw in one of your videos to an unhinged person trying to get at "that devil worshiper." Cameras and dogs are a great idea. Though I know you tend toward the lighter side of your craft, this may be a time for some baneful magic too, if you haven't already taken those steps. Take care of yourself, and I hope that you find much peace and joy in the new year.
Agreed! Although baneful magick can backfire if she’s still focused on it and afraid afterwards. I know it sounds woowoo, but hey, we’re witches. If you don’t already, please start studying the work of Abraham Hicks. Esther Hicks channels “Abraham” and teaches how to create new situations for yourself via Law of Attraction. This universe is attraction-based so you can’t repel anything without putting even more attention on it and attracting it even more strongly. Best to envision what situation you want to replace the current one and try to get your emotions lined up with that. Positive emotions are key to this working. It helps practically but also emotionally and with the law of attraction when you take all the steps needed so that you feel more safe so it’s great you’re doing all the things (cameras, document and reporting events to police, obtaining and learning how to use a firearm, etc.).This reduced fear will put you in a less fearful point of attracting and allowing the new safer reality to take shape. I almost wonder if you still were attracting some bad energy from the fear you had back when you first got the cabinet and did that banishing. And wasn’t after you’d been dealing with fear of coming out? Fear attracts things that threaten our safety and it’s gotten to a dangerous point with you now. Please try to work on any shadow emotions in your subconscious that could be making you a match for attracting things that cause you fear and harm. I’m not victim blaming at all. Just trying to empower you. Also, I am also a lesbian and had recurring nightmares for over 10 years of being chased by a murderer. Those all suddenly stopped when I came out of the closet. So I suspect you’ve got some fear lodged in your psyche still. Working on that is one more thing you can do. You got this!
A banishing and protection spell might be needed rachel. Annie should have someone check on her sometimes to make sure she is ok regularly too. It might be good for her to get a roomate or two that are armed and know self defense.
One thing I do that makes me feel safe is: I don't put my dogs name on their collar. I don't sure their names out in public. It's my secret. When walking outside, say in a open park, I would say " dogs come, dogs lets go, dogs where's the car? etc. My dogs are trained to " Dogs" and follow their commands perfectly. Hope this helps make you feel safer. It works for me❤
One step up from this, I live very remote in the mountains, I’ve trained my dogs their serious commands in a foreign language. I use Spanish & German. Also I use hand signals. “Bark” is finger & thumb together like a duck bill. It’s subtle, but I keep them barking with this, even as I engage in speaking to a stranger / delivery driver at my ranch gate. I started this years ago after a strange man arrived & in a stern voice commanded my dog to sit… and the dog did. Huge eye opener. Now I have a Belgian Malinois, all he knows are commands & sentences in foreign language and hand signals. Game changer for protection.
@@electraspy oh wow, you've brought up a point that not a lot of people mention. How sometimes our dogs can just as easily obey other people's commands. Love that you have a Belgian Malinois. My in law also has one too, he's very sweet and acts like a golden retriever, but also naturally very protective and doesn't like leaving my in law behind. The hand signals are very handy. It sucks how we have to take so many precautions for our own safety, but it brings a peace of mind knowing we at least have that guard up.
Yeah, looks like a definite pattern. Not something u can simply forget or hope goes away. However, deciding and making this video to expose is powerful message that this is totally unacceptable. Back off stalker, world know about you, now.
I have 2 shepherds (one all white also) I had someone try to break in my home and they went throw the glass window to get to the intruder. Those dogs will protect you for sure!
@AnnabelMargaretGreen 💫🌺 As you were explaining how someone had carved around your deadbolt it all of a sudden popped into my consciousness that that person might be someone who lives in your building; usually when information pops into my head from "out of nowhere" it is my intuition and usually spot on... Im by no means asserting Im correct, but please be aware that it may be someone that lives in your building. It would be for your safety, if you have not yet, to have a talk with your landlord and persuade them to install security cameras inside and outside of your building. Wishing you increased deep peace and protection, dear sweet Soul!! 🌺💫
If you haven't already it's probably worth reporting this to the police. So that when it happens again there is record of it happening before and maybe it gets taken more seriously. Please be safe
Probably? She should absolutely have reported every incident thus far and any other that happens (hopefully no more will - but it concerns me that they didn’t appear to be deterred even knowing she has dogs). This is absolutely concerning. Please document everything too.
I never understood why folks send packages to home addresses? I only do that with folks I knew for years and with expressed permission. You deserve to feel safe and secure no matter the occupation period. It is hard enough being a female in a crazy world. Not being able to walk at night or be worry free in any parking lot. But to take that feeling of un safety to our homes or travel is NEVER ok. You deserve peace and you are enough.
I recently went on a caravan holiday with my husband. I was chuffed to find that a young vanlife couple I follow were staying at the same park. After an initial chat to show my our support, we let them be. I don't believe in foisting one's self on other people's private lives - especially as a very private and reserved person myself. Yes it's a thrill to see someone you admire - but we should never expect that our admiration should be reciprocated.
If someone is stalking you, they know you have dogs and will be prepared for that. Maybe sign up for self defense classes. Find a weapon of self defense you are comfortable working with. It could be a staff, something less weapon like if you don’t believe in having them. I wish you well! Please stay safe. I’m praying for you.
I would be worried they'd hurt the dogs. I'd follow different walking routes daily and a reminder to NOT let doggos eat anything off of the ground, ever.
Annie, I wish that all of us good folk will put ourselves on your frontline in a show of support ONLY because it’s just not okay to violate yours or anyone’s privacy. At least we can show our support energetically in these comments. Even though you’re not experiencing this right now, just knowing (as you know) that most of us very much care that you are safe and feel safe. Human beings have a bit of an obsession with anyone who gains some notoriety. It shouldn’t be like that. In truth we are all vulnerable and just people, as you said. Anything like this does have residuals to our sense of being safe. As I’ve watched your channel over time, I know you’ve faced a lot of challenges and I’m glad you keep re-inventing and rejuvenating yourself. ❤❤ From myself and partner.
I have 40,000 subscribers and I went through this same thing two years ago. It is the absolute WORST fear! I am so sorry! Thank God you have the shepherds!
Thank you for sharing. I’m just some random witchy dude who wants to share some of my life and thoughts on youtube and I definitely needed a reminder to take care and be mindful of my own and my family’s safety. I’m here in your corner and we deserve our safety and privacy. Blessed be friend 💚
My heart goes out to you - I know what it's like to feel unsafe in your own home - at least I knew who was doing it to me. Please make sure you have told the police - they can put a flag next to your name/address and you will get priority if you ring for help. My dad was a police officer and he taught us ALWAYS one way out, a different way in. Never have a "routine" when walking the dog or doing your shopping always leave any potential nutter confused as to which route you'll choose today and what time. Hugs to you x
You need to make the police aware of what is going on with you. I am so sorry that this is happening to you. It is so scary to think that someone wants to harm you. Be careful and stay safe
Annie, I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. If I can make a suggestion, take a self defense class ,in addition to all the things you've already done to protect yourself and your home. I live in NYC, it was the very first thing I did when I moved here at 28 yrs old. The things I learned to keep myself are safe are nvaluable, right down to being hypervigilant of my surroundings at all times. It's empowering to learn how to keep yourself physically safe, both inside and outside of your home. I'm 68 now, and in those 40 yrs of living in NYC, I've had to use those self defense skills many times, with success. I don't live in fear. I feel prepared to handle anything. Just last week I took down a 6 ft man lunging at me on the sidewalk while I had a cup of coffee in each hand, but brought him to his knees without using my hands with a self defense move I had learned. Self defense classes prepare you for every possible scenario. Contact your local police precinct, they may have information on the best self defense classes in your area. Sending you best wishes, stay safe and be well.❤
Taking a self defence or a martial arts class- even something as simple as Tai Chi will also give you a sense of empowerment and help reduce anxiety. As a retired paramedic, sime of tjose moves I learned saved me a few times. It as the comment above states helps you to develop a sense of calm while being aware of your surroundings. ❤
Make sure any self defense class you take also involves body conditioning!! It's very important if you ever are in a defensive situation for your body to be practiced in and able to take hits as well as deliver them!
I understand how you feel. I had a stalker too. He was my abuser and abusers like to be close to their victims. I moved a lot and he still found me. I would change jobs too, but he would show up as a customer too. I noticed a difference when I live in an apartment that was under my roommate's name. It came to an end when I legally changed my name. I feel a lot safer living with a dog. He was pulled out of a abusive home and he is afraid of human males. I think the worse part is the mental game because it feels like the someone else has control over your life. My recommendation is talking to other women. You are not alone. There are ways of shaking a stalker off.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you, and it's a serious issue that so many people think if you choose to make one corner of your life public they are entitled to the rest of it.
Holy crap...that's creepy. Stay safe and arm yourself in some way and ensure you have some method of alert or the ability to very quickly call for assistance. Bear spray sounds fun, if you are fire-arm averse.
Bear spray is less potent than human spray. The only advantages it might have are range, usually about double what human sprays do and capacity. Capacity means a large bulky can that can be annoying to carry. Get something like Fox Labs Mean Green. It has some of the hottest formulas plus a dye to make that attacker easier for police to ID.
I am so, so sorry, Annabel! These "relationships" we, the audience, have with creators can result in rather one-sided intimacy, with we, strangers to you, feeling like you are our dearest friend. Obviously, that has up sides: high viewership, gifts perhaps, words of encouragement. But as you have, sadly, experienced, it can also have a dark side. Please do, as others have said, make sure the authorities are aware of these threatening events. I'm glad you have taken steps to safeguard your home. I just hope that creep/those creeps do not ultimately take away your peace. You bring peace to so many of us. Be well, be safe.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. If I may give some advice, some others may have said these things already, but please let your local police station know what's happening. Also keep a journal of everything that happens, take photos to document things and note dates and times. The more proof you have, the better. Keep updating the police on anything that happens. If certain self defence items are legal where you live, please look into them, personal alarms, pepper spray, etc can help keep you safe and alert others to a situation where you need help. A police officer can also come to your home to check for any improvements you can make to improve your security Thank you for your videos, they calm my anxious brain and I've learned a lot. You deserve peace and respect from the people around you. I wish you all the best and hope 2024 is a much better year for you 💛
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this and my heart goes out to you. It makes me angry too that someone would feel that this is OK. It makes me angry that as women especially, we have to be way more alert, aware and vigilant. You are in my thoughts and heart and will send good energy to you for safety, peace, ease. Thank you for being brave and speaking out.Your dogs are precious companions and yes, they are and would be stalwart protectors of you.
please go to the police, yesterday I just read on the news that (local news not from US) a father and daughter were found dead in their home. It was because of a stalking case. The stalker killed the father and the sister of the one he was stalking because he got angry at them for protecting the girl. be safe
Oh Annie! Watching your video I hurt for you. How scary that your personal space was invaded. I’m glad you have the dogs with you and surrounded with those you love. Please find inner peace in the things you love and that surround you and remember, try to keep the boundary in your mind that they have no power over you. Please keep smiling and do the wonderful work that you do. Your presence lights up the room. You truly are a wonderful person. Saying prayers to keep you safe.❤
The discomfort in your voice and body language is so clear. Having had situation that is similar (not the same, but similar) in my past, my heart is breaking for you. May you find peace and joy and, above all, safety, very soon.
This is scary. I’m proud of you for putting whoever it is on blast. It’s always stronger & wiser to speak up about it Like ur proactive security measures Keep people informed when u leave the house & when u return Make police reports Keep tracking this person They r not the only one that watches every thing in ur universe I’m a proponent of safety for women Too many women get hurt too frequently Stay strong Keep ur peace lady Keep protecting urself Use all ur resources cuz u have many protective shields around ü❤
This sucks! Thank you for bringing your situation out in the open. The dark side of social media. Glad you have the dogs, German Shepherds are very protective. Bear spray would be better for you than a baseball bat. I truly respect that you haven't let the creeps keep you from sharing your voice with us.
i sadly know very well how this feels, when i was around 12 years old i met this guy online (who was 22) & we were friends mainly to play video games etc. But after some years it evolved into a more real life friendship. He started to send me gifts, sabotage my relationships, ask for nude pictures & stalk me. While being so young you never realise that there are people out there to hurt me or whatever, i was very naive. I did however start to see the red flags and tried to get away (he did not like this at all) He did not live in my country so i was super surprised to see he showed up around my school, house etc. Eventually he had lost track of me because i moved abroad, but the whole ordeal took around 11 years. i am 30 years old now and sometimes still wonder if he might show up or find me again. Stay aware of who is around you, and do think about self defence, but most importantly try not to let it control you.
@@VeganVampire. yeah the guy was basically a Pe-do. why else would u try to befriend a child? and talk about sexual stuff. I have for sure been lucky that he never succeeded with actually doing something to me. I do remember how isolated i became and how scared of literally anyone i would get. My social circle was super small back then
Annie, I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with some people. It sounds like you are taking some necessary (unfortunately) precautions. Thank you for sharing with us. You are such a bright light in this world and I am grateful for your presence. I am sending you so much love and protective energy. 💗✨
I am SO sorry you’re having to deal with this. I value my privacy so much, and have always felt bad for celebrities going through this sort of thing. Just because someone gets paid from the audience watching their shows, movies, UA-cam channels, whatever medium, doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to full privacy. My parents are from here, but I was born and grew up in another country they worked in - where all the homes had high walls around the house and garden. I miss that and over the last 25 years have been creating green barriers with evergreen trees and hedges to keep people from looking into our space, whether it is from neighbors (who are kind, but we want our privacy) or from 2 story buildings nearby. I love open windows too, and we have two big dogs, but sometimes I wish I was in those homes that had the walls. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I’m new at this, even though I’m in my 60’s (Baby Witch?) and have absolutely learned so much from you. Sending you protective vibes and happy vibes to you!🌳🌺
Its brave & good that you spoke out - so other people going thru something similar know they are not alone. I hope you called the police when you found the door. They may not do anything for stalking, but they definitely handle attempted breaking & entering. Sending prayers & positive energy for peace & protection 💓
I gotta tell you, as a father of a 26 year old daughter who lives on their own, this infuriates me! I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I am glad you came forward and spoke about it. I am also very glad you have big dogs! lol just be safe and please keep us updated. I wish there was something I could do to help!
Awwww Annabelle, this is so sad. Please make sure you let as many people know as possible what's been happening. I'm sure you have made the police aware but I think it's important to have as many people looking out for you as possible where you live. I'm so so sorry you are experiencing this and I send love and hugs from Glasgow Scotland UK 🫂🩷🫂🩷🫂🩷🫂
Hey Annie! I’m sure you’ve got plenty of good people around you to offer advice for self and home protection, but just in case… in addition to the baseball bat, if you can and if you’re comfortable with it, you can also invest in a can or two of hornet/wasp spray with the long range spray nozzles and place them around your home in safe spaces (away from the fur babies but in easy grabbing reach for you). You won’t have to get as close to an intruder (risk someone bigger, faster, stronger getting that bat away from you) and it will stop someone as effectively as pepper spray, if not more so. Use it the same way. Aim for the face. It’s a common item that no one is going to ask you why you have it in your home and it will give you a chance to get away and get help. From one solitary gal to another, this is something my father advised me. Keep you safe! Sending love. 💕
I would recommend to all women that they take a self defense course. I'm not against using a weapon, as long as you know how to use it and understand that any weapon can be taken from you and then used against you. A weapon will not keep you safe if you have no preparation on how and when to use it.
Thanks for talking about this subject. Please be safe and always keep your head on a swivel. Please never keep a routine outside your home, stalkers get their opportunities that way. Please carry a loud whistle with you, so if someone approaches you, blow it and the loud noise will get people's attention. I hope you find some peace.
You are a very sweet and beautiful soul. Don't let making these videos change that. Give yourself multiple ways to fill the void. Let yourself walk away from this if it takes away your peace of mind.
I’m so sorry that someone made you feel so unsafe in your home. I’m proud of you for taking some safety measures and I hope they continue to bring you security. Please continue to share and not suffer in silence. Sending you so much love, and all of the safety protections.
That is terrifying! I have not lived alone my whole life…I’ve lived with parents, roommates and then my partner and a house filled with kids and pets. If authorities know who it is, I hope you are able to press charges or able to find peace in whatever way feels right to you! I’m so very sorry this is happening to you. I want to express my gratitude for all you’ve brought into my life with your beautiful videos. I used to see a lot of ‘well-known’ people and I was too bashful to approach them. Now if I see someone and make eye contact I put fingers in the ❤ shape over my ❤ just to let them know I love and appreciate them, but I still don’t approach them.
I'm praying for more peaceful days ahead for you, Annie. I hope this is the last of the stalking, but please be careful. You are such a beautiful soul, and you deserve a beautiful peaceful life. Sending protecting light. 💖
I'm so sorry you've been going through this, and completely understand why you didn't say anything publicly. I also grew up in the rural south and had similar issues when I moved to a city in a different state. The fear I felt when you talked about your doorknob jiggling... It's no fun. Glad to hear you've invested in mundane protections. Keep private what you need to. Your safety is infinitely more important than strangers' entertainment! Best wishes to you, Annie.
Oh sweetie, so sorry you're going through that! It's so sad you have to worry about such things. Unfortunately it's the world we live in now. I myself never had cameras until about 3 months ago due to things going on around the neighborhood. So glad you have those dogs! Keep them close, keep your doors and windows locked, change your routine and please please let the police know! Sending many blessings and stay safe! 🌺
So sorry you had to live like this. No one should feel afraid in their own home. Kudos for speaking out about this subject. In my book that makes you very strong. Speaking of books.....I love yours, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I know that must have been difficult. I am so sorry that this has happened to you. No one deserves to be in these situations and made to feel afraid to even leave their home. I hope it is over and you never have to go through anything like this again. I am glad you have your dogs and that you are safe. My thoughts are with you, and sending you good vibes.
I know what it takes to create videos in general, the staging, the camera setup/focus/settings, the lighting, the music, the editing - it’s a lot. So adding in all that you do in the video, I appreciate the effort you put in, and I love the calm and peaceful feelings I get just watching. I hate that some jerk has caused discomfort and unease, interrupted your peace. I loved hearing you have a baseball bat, but your sweet babies are way more of a deterrent. Im also glad it has been quiet recently, and you got to touch the earth again. Your content is so gorgeous, the opening to this one was another cinematic beauty, the mix between the close up and drone shots are so well juxtaposed.
I had a situation happen while I was at college where a man read too much into my general friendliness and started to follow me around and make me very uncomfortable, send me weird emails, etc. I made the worst gamble and directly told him to leave me alone or I would contact campus authorities and miraculously he gave up, but I learned afterwards that he had A LOT of anger issues, misogyny issues, and violent tendencies. So how I got out of that one I will never know. So maybe be smarter than me and get multiple ways to protect yourself, and maybe don't try to directly confront if possible. I hope you have peace and rest and time with your loved ones this holiday season.
I am so sorry this has happened to you! It definitely is a very important conversation. I was stalked by a former co-worker during year two of the pandemic. It flipped my life upside down. I went nowhere by myself for two years. This individual stopped when finally confronted from a distance. He apparently didnt realize I knew I was being stalked by him. A threat to make a police report thankfully stopped his behavior.
Is there a reason why you haven't contacted the police? If someone messes with your door, never go in and check the apartment yourself, call the police to be sure no one is inside. Please be careful Annabel.
Not being rude but i think some of this is paranoia. She hasnt contacted police, didn't say anything about checking her own camera after the deadbolt incident, didnt say the building management checked their cameras and called police. virtually every residential building has cameras now, especially if they're restricted access, and building managers take attempted burglaries and other crimes very seriously. and let's be real..her audience isnt that big. The idea that a lot of random ppl are recognizing her on the street is kind of slim. City life is not for everyone and there are a lot of dangers you must be aware of however this story just doesnt add up. Love annabels content but i get the impression sometimes she could benefit from some counseling. There seems to be a lot of pent up anxiety and perhaps other issues. I think she would fare much better staying at her cabin or someplace rural outside of cities
@@angelikabatwoman100000 subs is nothing, especially in a large city where there are likely hundreds if not thousands of youtubers, tiktokers,etc. Hell a million subs is fairly common these days. And if someone actually tried to break in then why hasnt she contacted the police? If theres actual damage to your deadbolt and you have a camera, in addition to the building almost certainly having cameras, why not call police and share the footage? That would be the first thing anyone truly in danger and afraid would do.
Thank you for sharing this! I’m experiencing a similar situation but I’m not on UA-cam. A past neighbor once came into my house while I was asleep and smudged a dark oily substance on my eye glass lenses that were on my dining room table. I had my locks changed but I am still suffering from the trauma they caused me. And, I believe they talked the locksmith into giving them a key because things continued to happen even after my locks were changed. They finally moved and now most of those things aren’t happening anymore. They cost me a ton of money and really retaliated against me when I changed my locks. These types of people are mentally unstable. In my case, I think someone was paying them to do it. I need to take more steps to protect myself. They harmed me greatly. I am glad you are safe and stay vigilant. My mother always talks me out of getting a dog but I think a dog is in my future. Take care and thanks for sharing.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! You're very brave for speaking about this. It should not be normal or accepted and speaking out is how we can combat it. I hope nothing further happens and you can begin to feel safe again.
People can be crazy! I'm glad you're ok and that you have your two dogs! As women it can be scary out there. Always vary your routine and be aware of your surroundings. My husband works third shift and we got cameras on our house and I can't tell you how much more secure it makes me feel when he's not here. Let your friends in the building know, as well. Sending you lots of hugs! Stay safe.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I hope that it calms down soon, that you're able to start feeling safe in your life again and that whoever has fixated on you so strongly is brave enough to get help for themselves for their fixation so that they can feel safe in their own life again. You're so loved and supported. Just keep doing what you're doing, Annie.
having experienced similar, i'm so sorry you're dealing with this. i hope things are far safer moving forward and whoever, gets some help for their lack of respect of others personhood. much love to you.
I'm sad that this is the first video of yours that was suggested to me, but also grateful to have found this lovely space you have made on youtube. All I have to say is, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I have been in two stalker situations in my life time and I don't think people understand just...the sense of security you lose. The comfort you built for yourself destroyed. The constant looking over your shoulder. In my case I knew them both too, so thinking I caught a glimpse of them in a crowd of people was the worst. It has taken some time, but I feel I am in a safe place now. Time really does heal all. My wish for you is that you find that sense of security and safety again in your own home. It really sucks when we open ourselves to the world and that is the favor returned to us. The most heart breaking for me was when you described your love of your window and natural light and how now you have curtains there. Windows also are a love of mine and during my situation it was one of the first things I shuttered off.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it made something that I went through feel more valid. To keep it short in 2018 I was walking my roommate’s dog and it was Christmas break so most people in my apartment complex were gone for the holidays. Both my roommates were working, so it was just me and a medium sized dog. As I was unlocking my front door, a van from across the street peeled out and pulled into our parking lot. A guy came out and started catcalling and hitting on me and asking me invasive questions, it was uncomfortable. He ended the conversation by saying he couldn’t leave without petting my dog and he finally dropped it when I told him she hated men (she had been growling the whole time and was a good protector). I knew where this guy lived, it was right next door, I had walked by the apartment complex while walking the dog. Since there wasn’t actually a law broken I couldn’t go to the cops cause they would just view it as a “girl who cried wolf” situation. And talking to someone isn’t illegal (although it is a grey area since he was sexualizing me verbally). He had also only given me a nickname he went by. All I could do was go back by his apartment complex later with my boyfriend and take pictures of the guys license plate and van in case something happened to me later. Thankfully we moved out a few months later. It affected me more than I thought cause this man knew exactly where I lived and I don’t know what would have happened if my roommate’s dog wasn’t with me. I am glad you are taking precautions and if you have physical evidence to start a case or restraining order against someone that is great, but I know how often stalkers aren’t taken seriously. I think you are doing great with countermeasures and changing your schedule. The fear and anxiety should fade in time. For me it took a few years to get over and I had to take steps to not become agoraphobic. Thank you again for sharing because like you said this shouldn’t be normal, and victims of stalking shouldn’t be blamed for someone else’s behavior.
Well done, brave lady. Saying it out loud, to an audience of online strangers is scary - it puts it all 'out there', so is well beyond your comfort zone, to say the least. But this is your global family. And we are wishing you the best. You'll be just fine. The stalker is needy and you are very powerful. Just remember that. Big hugs and white light being sent your way xxx
I'm so sorry that this person has made you feel fearful! When I was younger I came home one day and an intruder who had broke in heard me and went out my back door...it's a horrible violation of one's space. This person may not even know you are a content creator. I send you and your dogs prayers of protection. ❤
So sorry this happened, it happened to me years ago and it felt like I couldn’t breathe in my own home. I took precautions and eventually found who it was and sent a cease and desist order to him. It actually made me more sad than scared and I hope this is the last that you experience of this.
I’m so sorry, that’s truly terrifying! The police told me that about best security measures you can take are door security bars (for when you’re in the house) and camera doorbells. Idk if that helps at all, I just wanted to pass that along. Please stay safe!
It hurts my heart to know that you've had to go through this negative experience. But seeing you making the choice not to live in fear and take back control of your life sends a very powerful message. You matter deeply to your follower community who is standing with you. Be safe and keep being your amazing self.
I'm so sorry you are going through something so scary. Good job, though for alerting all your neighbors and landlord. Cameras were an excellent idea. I hope whoever it is/was will stop altogether. No one deserved to feel unsafe and scared. Your home is your safe place and should never be violated. Your privacy is yours and it doesn't matter if you are on the internet, people should respect you as a human and respect your personal life. You have a right to feel safe and relaxed in your own home. Thank you for sharing this scary situation, because there are so many others who go through this and stay quiet. We need to be aware of these stalker issues so laws can be made and safety upholded.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's very scary. Seems your dogs are not only scared but protective. The cameras were a smart move. Thank you for being inspiring, and I will do blessings for you. Stay safe.
I'm so sorry this happened. I hope you can find peace and feel safe again. I've been watching your videos for years and I appreciate how honest and real you are. I'm glad you took the precations you did. As woman who also lives in a large city, I know how scary and awful it is that you even have to do these things. I hope whoever was acting inappropriately learns their behavior is not okay.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Definitely inform the cops, have CCTVs installed. I really hope whoever creep did this is put to justice. You are incredibly strong and inspiring to keep doing what you do and sharing even your difficult moments with your audience
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is unfortunate that there are people out in the world that be like that. I am very glad that you are okay and sad that you have to deal with it. Sending strength and comfort. Blessed be.
I am not sure why but youtube algorithm showed me this video as the first contact with you. You genuinely seem like such a nice and kind hearted person, I am so incredibly sorry this happened to you… I think I would definitely move homes, maybe even countries, I couldn’t live in a place with a history like this :((( my anxiety would never leave
It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful so scared. Thank you so much for sharing this, your story is so important. My home has been broken into many times over the years. I know the feeling to be afraid, and not feel safe in your own home. I'm glad you've taken precautions and that you are all right. Sending so much love to you and your puppies. It will get better, I know it
I know it was very hard to make that video and hope others appreciate your openess. You've done a good job of taking it seriously and responding well. I'm looking forward to a positive update in the near future!
Im really sorry this has happened. UA-cam should be a place you can peacefully create, and it is really alarming when people try to do that sort of thing. It’s not ok, and well done you for calling it out, and talking about it.
Oh sweet Annie, I'm so sorry you're having to go through these awful and traumatic experiences. A lot of people seem to like to tell you what to do, but no one really knows how it feels and how crazy-making stalking can cause you to feel. I'm a survivor and I won't tell you what to do, but I'd definitely suggest some counseling. Untreated PTSD can easily transform into destabilizing anxiety and even agoraphobia in some extreme cases. I'm not a medical professional, but as a wise woman nearing my 4th decade, I've had some experiences and know what I'm talking about. It's one reason I live in the middle of nowhere in nature, for peace of mind. I bless you with that peace and am sending you white light protection little witch. Many blessings darlin, from N. Cal. Please be safe, you're so valuable to the world!
NO ONE has the right to make you feel like this in your own home my lovely. I am so so sorry this is happening to you! 😮❤ It does not matter whether you are a utuber or not, it is YOUR home my dear. PLEASE do not allow someone who has no boundaries, stop you from being YOU! ✨️🕯 Take it step by step, day by day & it will work out for you. There are ALWAYS different ways you can approach the way you work lovely. Well done on the braveness & courage it has taken in making this video & speaking out loud! 👏👏
You poor thing, you look so hurt and tired! ;; Please, please be sure to reach out to local police/authorities if only to start a paper trail. I dealt with stalker issues in the past and didn't make the police aware at any time and it made seeking help so much more difficult down the line. Please be safe, please take the best care of yourself that you can, and please remember that we're here for you to support however we're able to whether you need to take time to handle personal situations or not. Your safety and comfort always comes before our desire for taking in content
Please make police aware, this needs to be taken very seriously. Be safe!!
Yes please file a report ❤️
Yes, please do it
Definitely x
I don’t understand why she didn’t.
She never stated she didn't. there was more she didn't want to get into. people making assumptions that shes not involving the police or wont or that she hasn't thought of that is ridiculous @@thebrookealyson
This entire video is an example of why we need to work hard for positive change and RESPECT for privacy and personal security. Women should not have to feel like they're putting their life on the line every time they put their face on a video or photo or just simply walking out their front door. I'm so sad to hear such things happened or are happening to one of the kindest people on the Internet.
I couldn't agree more!
@@VeganVampire.Same
Sadly this is EXACTLY why women should hire a professional to clean up their previous internet presence and to teach them how to protect their privacy
Sadly i know where most of my fave internet girls live because they show their house numbers, their cars, street signs or will say "this store is 7 minutes from my house"
And then to come to the sad and harsh reality: when you become famous ppl WILL come to your house. Its not an if its a WHEN and what will they do ...
This is where a security team needs to be consulted on how to protect yourself and your home - or may even require moving to a more secure home
Why do you think when youtubers become rich they move to gated communities?
Other than that : yes ppl do need to respect youtubers privacy 😊
But some won't
And that some may be dangerous
@@topicsandtea This is a very real thing. Every celeb and president and those who become high in their field do this. Its scrubbing your name and old posts from the internet. For example if you made contridictary posts about your field a decade ago. Or made comments that did not age well. Or maybe posted your family's real name and address on a Facebook page years ago. Or accidently posted your home address on a Facebook marketplace. All sorts of things need to be removed from the internet.
Do YOU remember every detail & click you've EVER made on the internet? No. No one does
But you know who WILL find out : hackers and ppl with ill intentions.
🥰
Stay safe out there
Even sending gifts to the address that was not publicly shared is extremely suspicious no matter how much these people convince themselves it’s from a good place. And then getting mad at you is even weirder. Sorry you’re going through this. Please, be safe and contact the authorities, have something on you to defend yourself 💚
Agree!! I'd be freaked out by that too!
Yeah, this sending packages at a private address that you did not explicitly ask for is NOT “sweet” or normal in any way whatsoever. And even more suspicious that they got upset. That shows deep sense of entitlement and may indicate psychopathy. Definitely a serious concern.
Yeah that is super cringe. So many weirdos out there. Yikes.
To anyone who comes to the comments wondering if they’ve overstepped a line: if you give someone a gift, remember that they did not ask you to, and they owe you nothing in return. If you think they do owe you for something they didn’t request, you are trying to have coercive relationships where you purchase someone’s attention with gifts. That isn’t a relationship, it’s a transaction. If you are a fan or admire someone, please have the respect to remember that they should be treated as humans and not as products.
Parasocial situations are scary to most people, but just infuriating to me. I am an avid believer in total autonomy and self preservation...so when someone feels as though they are entitled to someone else's body, mind and life it pushes my buttons. No one owes you attention, words, or interaction. ESPECIALLY of you don't even know them. We need to remember that internet personalities, celebrities, etc. are people too. I am so sorry that you're going through this, but I'm glad you're talking about it because we need to stop treating situations like this as taboo. It happens and we NEED to have this conversation, and stop punishing those who experience it, rather than the aggressor. Protect yourself at ANY cost(get a strap)...because at the end of the day, stalking situations are not taken very seriously, and it's best not to rely too heavily on other people to help you if you need it.
Lol, where you from...calling it a strap! Real hood sounding stuff there.
@@psychopompous3207lol where are you from? Calling it hood! Real racist sounding stuff there.
@@mgcly444 What's racist about saying something sounds hood? Stop trying to make arguments out of nothing. That's what Reddit is for.
@@psychopompous3207Your whole comment ignored the validity of the OP comment and focused on one word, which you seem to think indicates where they live and says something about them. Whose “hood?” What does it mean to “be hood.” It’s coded language and we all know it. Stop being ignorant. If you can’t figure it out for yourself, that’s what Google is for.
@@mgcly444 Again, you are just looking for things to be outraged about. Stop harassing me.
I haven't been a viewer, but the algorithm pushed me this video and I'd like to say: as a fellow female creator on youtube who has also dealt with in-person stalking, I want to thank you for sharing your story and please feel free to reach out to me for moral support. Sending my love. - Lyss.
People who stalk are not usually mentally stable people. I hope you notified the police about what is happening. Stay safe.
That was the hardest part for me to grasp when I was 19. I really thought I could reason with mine and he would respect my boundaries. I learned that he was not living in reality, and he did not give a shit if he was making me uncomfortable, or eventually terrified. The advice at that time was to just keep telling them how they are making you feel, and trying to get them to accept you aren’t interested ‘without being mean.’ What I wish I’d done is just never said a word to him the moment he found my MySpace (that’s how old I am, lol) and kept blowing me up. I knew it was weird but I never really thought I could have a stalker without it being an ex or without me being famous or something. I have a friend who has a guy stalking her at her work, now, and I have been trying to help her through it.
People who stalk are 95+% men, so this is a toxic male problem, who pretty much always know what they're doing and it's intentional. They 100% know their behavior is frightening. The blame is with these toxic predatory men, and the other toxic men who do nothing about it and force women to live in fear.
To all stalkers out there: seek help immediately. See a psychologist before it’s too late. Otherwise, the world will turn against you and you will be completely on your own. There is still hope for you in this life, regardless of how badly your parents or others have messed you up. And the first step starts NOW. You will forever leave Annabel Margaret alone.
The victims of stalking should probably be the focus of concern, and not the stalkers themselves. They know they are causing suffering, and that’s often their objective. I had one for 6 years. It was a nightmare. There is no way my stalker thought I was enjoying it, or that I could love someone who did the things he did. If you are stalking someone it already is ‘too late’ in a lot of ways. It’s like any form of abuse. There’s certain lines where if you cross them, you can’t really become a decent person on the eyes of many people. At some point people will find out, even 10 years later, and distance themselves because they will never feel safe around you again. Plus, I am not sure that treatment is likely to be successful because most have some very dark psychology that is near-impossible to treat, due to therapists and psychologists not being comfortable taking that risk. People are far too compassionate on stalkers. My advice for them would be to move far away from their victim and stay away from people who could likely become future victims. They are often like serial killers, due to having a type.
@@baileymoran8585 Agreed. They know what they’re doing and are likely not concerned with stopping their behavior.
@baileymoran8585 with all due respect no one is compassionate towards stalkers, myself included, and my comment is the only comment here among all others that are about the victims)
Just hurt my heart when you said you learned your lesson and now put curtains up. You should not feel as if you have done anything wrong and need to put curtains up. May you be safe always! Your content is so so beautiful and thoughtful. I am grateful for it!
The most dangerous thing is not a animal per se but a human. Keep yourself safe, situational awareness, look into arming yourself in some way regardless for personal safety and piece of mind. Please be careful.
I literally moved in with friends and slept on the couch just because there were 3 other people living in that apartment and I would be unlikely to be alone. I also had to take the stickers off my car, including my student parking pass. I got a new one I could put on my dash and take off when I wasn’t in class. I I also had to change jobs because my boss was a dick about me refusing to take him, but I decided not to tell anyone where I worked. I also had to commute to the farther campus an hour away because he knew where I was going to school. It was exhausting. He would still find me. It was a small college town. I stopped dating (until I met my husband, who didn’t run when a crazy guy showed up on our date and pulled a knife on him), having any kind of social life, and eventually left the state.
You poor girl!! This is one of my biggest nightmares. Some people are so messed up. Good that you have two dogs and got the camera and speak about this. They need to know that we know and taking measures.
This happened to my friend and she was able to get out of the situation however you do need to call the police with each incident. You need to collect evidence of the incident and get a door cam to find out who it is so you can press charges and get a restraining order for life. You got this! Stalkers love making the person feel scared and vulnerable so you may want to refrain from posting like that because it could egg them on. They typically are not mentally well and live off the power high. I was stalked too and I ended up moving cities honestly but that meant being closer to home. Stalkers can feel very psychologically draining but remember others have gotten out of it and so can you.
I was thinking the same; competitor channels would just love to hear something like that.
Please be careful, Annie. Someone trying to dig out your deadbolt is not someone who just wants attention. It could be anything from trying to steal something someone saw in one of your videos to an unhinged person trying to get at "that devil worshiper." Cameras and dogs are a great idea. Though I know you tend toward the lighter side of your craft, this may be a time for some baneful magic too, if you haven't already taken those steps. Take care of yourself, and I hope that you find much peace and joy in the new year.
Agreed! Although baneful magick can backfire if she’s still focused on it and afraid afterwards. I know it sounds woowoo, but hey, we’re witches. If you don’t already, please start studying the work of Abraham Hicks. Esther Hicks channels “Abraham” and teaches how to create new situations for yourself via Law of Attraction. This universe is attraction-based so you can’t repel anything without putting even more attention on it and attracting it even more strongly. Best to envision what situation you want to replace the current one and try to get your emotions lined up with that. Positive emotions are key to this working. It helps practically but also emotionally and with the law of attraction when you take all the steps needed so that you feel more safe so it’s great you’re doing all the things (cameras, document and reporting events to police, obtaining and learning how to use a firearm, etc.).This reduced fear will put you in a less fearful point of attracting and allowing the new safer reality to take shape.
I almost wonder if you still were attracting some bad energy from the fear you had back when you first got the cabinet and did that banishing. And wasn’t after you’d been dealing with fear of coming out? Fear attracts things that threaten our safety and it’s gotten to a dangerous point with you now. Please try to work on any shadow emotions in your subconscious that could be making you a match for attracting things that cause you fear and harm. I’m not victim blaming at all. Just trying to empower you. Also, I am also a lesbian and had recurring nightmares for over 10 years of being chased by a murderer. Those all suddenly stopped when I came out of the closet. So I suspect you’ve got some fear lodged in your psyche still. Working on that is one more thing you can do. You got this!
A banishing and protection spell might be needed rachel. Annie should have someone check on her sometimes to make sure she is ok regularly too. It might be good for her to get a roomate or two that are armed and know self defense.
One thing I do that makes me feel safe is: I don't put my dogs name on their collar. I don't sure their names out in public. It's my secret. When walking outside, say in a open park, I would say " dogs come, dogs lets go, dogs where's the car? etc. My dogs are trained to " Dogs" and follow their commands perfectly. Hope this helps make you feel safer. It works for me❤
Good advice👍
One step up from this, I live very remote in the mountains, I’ve trained my dogs their serious commands in a foreign language. I use Spanish & German. Also I use hand signals. “Bark” is finger & thumb together like a duck bill. It’s subtle, but I keep them barking with this, even as I engage in speaking to a stranger / delivery driver at my ranch gate. I started this years ago after a strange man arrived & in a stern voice commanded my dog to sit… and the dog did. Huge eye opener. Now I have a Belgian Malinois, all he knows are commands & sentences in foreign language and hand signals. Game changer for protection.
@@electraspy oh wow, you've brought up a point that not a lot of people mention. How sometimes our dogs can just as easily obey other people's commands. Love that you have a Belgian Malinois. My in law also has one too, he's very sweet and acts like a golden retriever, but also naturally very protective and doesn't like leaving my in law behind. The hand signals are very handy. It sucks how we have to take so many precautions for our own safety, but it brings a peace of mind knowing we at least have that guard up.
Getting one of those Ring doorbell cameras might be a good idea just so you can see who is at your door even if you're not home.
Even a fake one helps deter people if a real one is out of budget!
Yeah, looks like a definite pattern. Not something u can simply forget or hope goes away. However, deciding and making this video to expose is powerful message that this is totally unacceptable. Back off stalker, world know about you, now.
I have 2 shepherds (one all white also) I had someone try to break in my home and they went throw the glass window to get to the intruder. Those dogs will protect you for sure!
@AnnabelMargaretGreen 💫🌺 As you were explaining how someone had carved around your deadbolt it all of a sudden popped into my consciousness that that person might be someone who lives in your building; usually when information pops into my head from "out of nowhere" it is my intuition and usually spot on... Im by no means asserting Im correct, but please be aware that it may be someone that lives in your building. It would be for your safety, if you have not yet, to have a talk with your landlord and persuade them to install security cameras inside and outside of your building. Wishing you increased deep peace and protection, dear sweet Soul!! 🌺💫
If you haven't already it's probably worth reporting this to the police. So that when it happens again there is record of it happening before and maybe it gets taken more seriously. Please be safe
Probably? She should absolutely have reported every incident thus far and any other that happens (hopefully no more will - but it concerns me that they didn’t appear to be deterred even knowing she has dogs). This is absolutely concerning. Please document everything too.
I never understood why folks send packages to home addresses? I only do that with folks I knew for years and with expressed permission. You deserve to feel safe and secure no matter the occupation period. It is hard enough being a female in a crazy world. Not being able to walk at night or be worry free in any parking lot. But to take that feeling of un safety to our homes or travel is NEVER ok. You deserve peace and you are enough.
I recently went on a caravan holiday with my husband. I was chuffed to find that a young vanlife couple I follow were staying at the same park. After an initial chat to show my our support, we let them be. I don't believe in foisting one's self on other people's private lives - especially as a very private and reserved person myself. Yes it's a thrill to see someone you admire - but we should never expect that our admiration should be reciprocated.
Thanks for being real and for sharing this. I hope that you are safe and that this person quits bothering you. ❤
If someone is stalking you, they know you have dogs and will be prepared for that. Maybe sign up for self defense classes. Find a weapon of self defense you are comfortable working with. It could be a staff, something less weapon like if you don’t believe in having them. I wish you well! Please stay safe. I’m praying for you.
I would be worried they'd hurt the dogs. I'd follow different walking routes daily and a reminder to NOT let doggos eat anything off of the ground, ever.
Annie, I wish that all of us good folk will put ourselves on your frontline in a show of support ONLY because it’s just not okay to violate yours or anyone’s privacy. At least we can show our support energetically in these comments. Even though you’re not experiencing this right now, just knowing (as you know) that most of us very much care that you are safe and feel safe. Human beings have a bit of an obsession with anyone who gains some notoriety. It shouldn’t be like that. In truth we are all vulnerable and just people, as you said. Anything like this does have residuals to our sense of being safe. As I’ve watched your channel over time, I know you’ve faced a lot of challenges and I’m glad you keep re-inventing and rejuvenating yourself. ❤❤ From myself and partner.
I have 40,000 subscribers and I went through this same thing two years ago. It is the absolute WORST fear! I am so sorry! Thank God you have the shepherds!
Thank you for sharing. I’m just some random witchy dude who wants to share some of my life and thoughts on youtube and I definitely needed a reminder to take care and be mindful of my own and my family’s safety. I’m here in your corner and we deserve our safety and privacy. Blessed be friend 💚
My heart goes out to you - I know what it's like to feel unsafe in your own home - at least I knew who was doing it to me. Please make sure you have told the police - they can put a flag next to your name/address and you will get priority if you ring for help. My dad was a police officer and he taught us ALWAYS one way out, a different way in. Never have a "routine" when walking the dog or doing your shopping always leave any potential nutter confused as to which route you'll choose today and what time. Hugs to you x
You need to make the police aware of what is going on with you. I am so sorry that this is happening to you. It is so scary to think that someone wants to harm you. Be careful and stay safe
Annie, I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. If I can make a suggestion, take a self defense class ,in addition to all the things you've already done to protect yourself and your home. I live in NYC, it was the very first thing I did when I moved here at 28 yrs old. The things I learned to keep myself are safe are nvaluable, right down to being hypervigilant of my surroundings at all times. It's empowering to learn how to keep yourself physically safe, both inside and outside of your home. I'm 68 now, and in those 40 yrs of living in NYC, I've had to use those self defense skills many times, with success. I don't live in fear. I feel prepared to handle anything. Just last week I took down a 6 ft man lunging at me on the sidewalk while I had a cup of coffee in each hand, but brought him to his knees without using my hands with a self defense move I had learned. Self defense classes prepare you for every possible scenario. Contact your local police precinct, they may have information on the best self defense classes in your area. Sending you best wishes, stay safe and be well.❤
Completely agree. Learning the physical imprint of power is very important❣️
Taking a self defence or a martial arts class- even something as simple as Tai Chi will also give you a sense of empowerment and help reduce anxiety. As a retired paramedic, sime of tjose moves I learned saved me a few times. It as the comment above states helps you to develop a sense of calm while being aware of your surroundings. ❤
Make sure any self defense class you take also involves body conditioning!! It's very important if you ever are in a defensive situation for your body to be practiced in and able to take hits as well as deliver them!
Super important to talk about this. I hope it brings you some healing! Thank you so much for making this video.
I understand how you feel. I had a stalker too. He was my abuser and abusers like to be close to their victims. I moved a lot and he still found me. I would change jobs too, but he would show up as a customer too. I noticed a difference when I live in an apartment that was under my roommate's name. It came to an end when I legally changed my name. I feel a lot safer living with a dog. He was pulled out of a abusive home and he is afraid of human males. I think the worse part is the mental game because it feels like the someone else has control over your life.
My recommendation is talking to other women. You are not alone. There are ways of shaking a stalker off.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you, and it's a serious issue that so many people think if you choose to make one corner of your life public they are entitled to the rest of it.
Holy crap...that's creepy. Stay safe and arm yourself in some way and ensure you have some method of alert or the ability to very quickly call for assistance. Bear spray sounds fun, if you are fire-arm averse.
I am here to also second the bear spray I think that’s a good idea
@@Vlogsoup Yeah, in my line of work we have to be tased and maced. And since bear spray is like concentrated mace, I can vouch for it's efficacy.
@@psychopompous3207 I could not imagine getting bear spray in the face
@@Vlogsoup Oh god...neither could I. I'd rather be tased than maced again anyday...
Bear spray is less potent than human spray. The only advantages it might have are range, usually about double what human sprays do and capacity. Capacity means a large bulky can that can be annoying to carry. Get something like Fox Labs Mean Green. It has some of the hottest formulas plus a dye to make that attacker easier for police to ID.
I am so, so sorry, Annabel! These "relationships" we, the audience, have with creators can result in rather one-sided intimacy, with we, strangers to you, feeling like you are our dearest friend. Obviously, that has up sides: high viewership, gifts perhaps, words of encouragement. But as you have, sadly, experienced, it can also have a dark side. Please do, as others have said, make sure the authorities are aware of these threatening events. I'm glad you have taken steps to safeguard your home. I just hope that creep/those creeps do not ultimately take away your peace. You bring peace to so many of us. Be well, be safe.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. If I may give some advice, some others may have said these things already, but please let your local police station know what's happening. Also keep a journal of everything that happens, take photos to document things and note dates and times. The more proof you have, the better. Keep updating the police on anything that happens. If certain self defence items are legal where you live, please look into them, personal alarms, pepper spray, etc can help keep you safe and alert others to a situation where you need help. A police officer can also come to your home to check for any improvements you can make to improve your security
Thank you for your videos, they calm my anxious brain and I've learned a lot. You deserve peace and respect from the people around you. I wish you all the best and hope 2024 is a much better year for you 💛
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this and my heart goes out to you. It makes me angry too that someone would feel that this is OK. It makes me angry that as women especially, we have to be way more alert, aware and vigilant. You are in my thoughts and heart and will send good energy to you for safety, peace, ease. Thank you for being brave and speaking out.Your dogs are precious companions and yes, they are and would be stalwart protectors of you.
please go to the police, yesterday I just read on the news that (local news not from US) a father and daughter were found dead in their home. It was because of a stalking case. The stalker killed the father and the sister of the one he was stalking because he got angry at them for protecting the girl. be safe
Oh Annie! Watching your video I hurt for you. How scary that your personal space was invaded. I’m glad you have the dogs with you and surrounded with those you love. Please find inner peace in the things you love and that surround you and remember, try to keep the boundary in your mind that they have no power over you. Please keep smiling and do the wonderful work that you do. Your presence lights up the room. You truly are a wonderful person. Saying prayers to keep you safe.❤
The discomfort in your voice and body language is so clear. Having had situation that is similar (not the same, but similar) in my past, my heart is breaking for you. May you find peace and joy and, above all, safety, very soon.
This is scary. I’m proud of you for putting whoever it is on blast. It’s always stronger & wiser to speak up about it
Like ur proactive security measures Keep people informed when u leave the house & when u return
Make police reports Keep tracking this person They r not the only one that watches every thing in ur universe
I’m a proponent of safety for women Too many women get hurt too frequently Stay strong Keep ur peace lady Keep protecting urself
Use all ur resources cuz u have many protective shields around ü❤
Get some bear spray for your walks. Protect yourself. Don't let the crazies stop you.
This sucks! Thank you for bringing your situation out in the open. The dark side of social media. Glad you have the dogs, German Shepherds are very protective. Bear spray would be better for you than a baseball bat. I truly respect that you haven't let the creeps keep you from sharing your voice with us.
i sadly know very well how this feels, when i was around 12 years old i met this guy online (who was 22) & we were friends mainly to play video games etc. But after some years it evolved into a more real life friendship. He started to send me gifts, sabotage my relationships, ask for nude pictures & stalk me. While being so young you never realise that there are people out there to hurt me or whatever, i was very naive. I did however start to see the red flags and tried to get away (he did not like this at all) He did not live in my country so i was super surprised to see he showed up around my school, house etc. Eventually he had lost track of me because i moved abroad, but the whole ordeal took around 11 years. i am 30 years old now and sometimes still wonder if he might show up or find me again. Stay aware of who is around you, and do think about self defence, but most importantly try not to let it control you.
Wow you were so young when that started! What a disgusting person to do that to you, I'm so sorry. Glad you're safely away from him!
@@VeganVampire. yeah the guy was basically a Pe-do. why else would u try to befriend a child? and talk about sexual stuff. I have for sure been lucky that he never succeeded with actually doing something to me. I do remember how isolated i became and how scared of literally anyone i would get. My social circle was super small back then
Annie, I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with some people. It sounds like you are taking some necessary (unfortunately) precautions. Thank you for sharing with us. You are such a bright light in this world and I am grateful for your presence. I am sending you so much love and protective energy. 💗✨
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I wish you only safety and peace of mind!!
I am SO sorry you’re having to deal with this. I value my privacy so much, and have always felt bad for celebrities going through this sort of thing. Just because someone gets paid from the audience watching their shows, movies, UA-cam channels, whatever medium, doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to full privacy. My parents are from here, but I was born and grew up in another country they worked in - where all the homes had high walls around the house and garden. I miss that and over the last 25 years have been creating green barriers with evergreen trees and hedges to keep people from looking into our space, whether it is from neighbors (who are kind, but we want our privacy) or from 2 story buildings nearby. I love open windows too, and we have two big dogs, but sometimes I wish I was in those homes that had the walls. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I’m new at this, even though I’m in my 60’s (Baby Witch?) and have absolutely learned so much from you. Sending you protective vibes and happy vibes to you!🌳🌺
Sending lots of love (respectfully from a distance!). Thank goodness for your pups x
Its brave & good that you spoke out - so other people going thru something similar know they are not alone. I hope you called the police when you found the door. They may not do anything for stalking, but they definitely handle attempted breaking & entering. Sending prayers & positive energy for peace & protection 💓
I gotta tell you, as a father of a 26 year old daughter who lives on their own, this infuriates me! I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I am glad you came forward and spoke about it. I am also very glad you have big dogs! lol just be safe and please keep us updated. I wish there was something I could do to help!
Awwww Annabelle, this is so sad. Please make sure you let as many people know as possible what's been happening. I'm sure you have made the police aware but I think it's important to have as many people looking out for you as possible where you live. I'm so so sorry you are experiencing this and I send love and hugs from Glasgow Scotland UK 🫂🩷🫂🩷🫂🩷🫂
Hey Annie! I’m sure you’ve got plenty of good people around you to offer advice for self and home protection, but just in case… in addition to the baseball bat, if you can and if you’re comfortable with it, you can also invest in a can or two of hornet/wasp spray with the long range spray nozzles and place them around your home in safe spaces (away from the fur babies but in easy grabbing reach for you). You won’t have to get as close to an intruder (risk someone bigger, faster, stronger getting that bat away from you) and it will stop someone as effectively as pepper spray, if not more so. Use it the same way. Aim for the face. It’s a common item that no one is going to ask you why you have it in your home and it will give you a chance to get away and get help. From one solitary gal to another, this is something my father advised me. Keep you safe! Sending love. 💕
I would recommend to all women that they take a self defense course. I'm not against using a weapon, as long as you know how to use it and understand that any weapon can be taken from you and then used against you. A weapon will not keep you safe if you have no preparation on how and when to use it.
Thanks for talking about this subject. Please be safe and always keep your head on a swivel. Please never keep a routine outside your home, stalkers get their opportunities that way. Please carry a loud whistle with you, so if someone approaches you, blow it and the loud noise will get people's attention. I hope you find some peace.
I wish you absolute peace and happiness Annabel. I know you’ll stay safe.
Oh my gosh, I’m sorry you’re have to deal with that. Stay safe.
You are a very sweet and beautiful soul. Don't let making these videos change that. Give yourself multiple ways to fill the void. Let yourself walk away from this if it takes away your peace of mind.
I’m so sorry that someone made you feel so unsafe in your home. I’m proud of you for taking some safety measures and I hope they continue to bring you security. Please continue to share and not suffer in silence. Sending you so much love, and all of the safety protections.
That is terrifying! I have not lived alone my whole life…I’ve lived with parents, roommates and then my partner and a house filled with kids and pets. If authorities know who it is, I hope you are able to press charges or able to find peace in whatever way feels right to you! I’m so very sorry this is happening to you. I want to express my gratitude for all you’ve brought into my life with your beautiful videos. I used to see a lot of ‘well-known’ people and I was too bashful to approach them. Now if I see someone and make eye contact I put fingers in the ❤ shape over my ❤ just to let them know I love and appreciate them, but I still don’t approach them.
I'm praying for more peaceful days ahead for you, Annie. I hope this is the last of the stalking, but please be careful. You are such a beautiful soul, and you deserve a beautiful peaceful life. Sending protecting light. 💖
I'm so sorry you've been going through this, and completely understand why you didn't say anything publicly. I also grew up in the rural south and had similar issues when I moved to a city in a different state. The fear I felt when you talked about your doorknob jiggling... It's no fun. Glad to hear you've invested in mundane protections. Keep private what you need to. Your safety is infinitely more important than strangers' entertainment! Best wishes to you, Annie.
Good for you, on checking the other apartment doors! Knowledge is power.
Hopefully this ne'er do well, will stay discouraged.
Oh sweetie, so sorry you're going through that! It's so sad you have to worry about such things. Unfortunately it's the world we live in now. I myself never had cameras until about 3 months ago due to things going on around the neighborhood. So glad you have those dogs! Keep them close, keep your doors and windows locked, change your routine and please please let the police know! Sending many blessings and stay safe! 🌺
So sorry you had to live like this. No one should feel afraid in their own home. Kudos for speaking out about this subject. In my book that makes you very strong. Speaking of books.....I love yours, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I know that must have been difficult. I am so sorry that this has happened to you. No one deserves to be in these situations and made to feel afraid to even leave their home. I hope it is over and you never have to go through anything like this again. I am glad you have your dogs and that you are safe. My thoughts are with you, and sending you good vibes.
I know what it takes to create videos in general, the staging, the camera setup/focus/settings, the lighting, the music, the editing - it’s a lot. So adding in all that you do in the video, I appreciate the effort you put in, and I love the calm and peaceful feelings I get just watching.
I hate that some jerk has caused discomfort and unease, interrupted your peace. I loved hearing you have a baseball bat, but your sweet babies are way more of a deterrent.
Im also glad it has been quiet recently, and you got to touch the earth again. Your content is so gorgeous, the opening to this one was another cinematic beauty, the mix between the close up and drone shots are so well juxtaposed.
I had a situation happen while I was at college where a man read too much into my general friendliness and started to follow me around and make me very uncomfortable, send me weird emails, etc. I made the worst gamble and directly told him to leave me alone or I would contact campus authorities and miraculously he gave up, but I learned afterwards that he had A LOT of anger issues, misogyny issues, and violent tendencies. So how I got out of that one I will never know. So maybe be smarter than me and get multiple ways to protect yourself, and maybe don't try to directly confront if possible. I hope you have peace and rest and time with your loved ones this holiday season.
I am so sorry this has happened to you! It definitely is a very important conversation. I was stalked by a former co-worker during year two of the pandemic. It flipped my life upside down. I went nowhere by myself for two years. This individual stopped when finally confronted from a distance. He apparently didnt realize I knew I was being stalked by him. A threat to make a police report thankfully stopped his behavior.
Is there a reason why you haven't contacted the police? If someone messes with your door, never go in and check the apartment yourself, call the police to be sure no one is inside. Please be careful Annabel.
Not being rude but i think some of this is paranoia. She hasnt contacted police, didn't say anything about checking her own camera after the deadbolt incident, didnt say the building management checked their cameras and called police. virtually every residential building has cameras now, especially if they're restricted access, and building managers take attempted burglaries and other crimes very seriously. and let's be real..her audience isnt that big. The idea that a lot of random ppl are recognizing her on the street is kind of slim. City life is not for everyone and there are a lot of dangers you must be aware of however this story just doesnt add up. Love annabels content but i get the impression sometimes she could benefit from some counseling. There seems to be a lot of pent up anxiety and perhaps other issues. I think she would fare much better staying at her cabin or someplace rural outside of cities
@@loganstroganoff1284I disagree. 100.000 people watching is a big audience. And someone trying to break in is not paranoia, it's a tangible threat.
@@angelikabatwoman100000 subs is nothing, especially in a large city where there are likely hundreds if not thousands of youtubers, tiktokers,etc. Hell a million subs is fairly common these days. And if someone actually tried to break in then why hasnt she contacted the police? If theres actual damage to your deadbolt and you have a camera, in addition to the building almost certainly having cameras, why not call police and share the footage? That would be the first thing anyone truly in danger and afraid would do.
@@angelikabatwomanI agree!
You only need one person to know you to potentially have a stalker@@loganstroganoff1284
Thank you for sharing this! I’m experiencing a similar situation but I’m not on UA-cam. A past neighbor once came into my house while I was asleep and smudged a dark oily substance on my eye glass lenses that were on my dining room table. I had my locks changed but I am still suffering from the trauma they caused me. And, I believe they talked the locksmith into giving them a key because things continued to happen even after my locks were changed. They finally moved and now most of those things aren’t happening anymore. They cost me a ton of money and really retaliated against me when I changed my locks. These types of people are mentally unstable. In my case, I think someone was paying them to do it. I need to take more steps to protect myself. They harmed me greatly. I am glad you are safe and stay vigilant. My mother always talks me out of getting a dog but I think a dog is in my future. Take care and thanks for sharing.
I am so sorry you have been going through this. Sending some loving & protection vibes your way. Your dogs are so beautiful.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Big hug!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! You're very brave for speaking about this. It should not be normal or accepted and speaking out is how we can combat it. I hope nothing further happens and you can begin to feel safe again.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this, darling. Sending strength and protection and peace for you and yours.
People can be crazy! I'm glad you're ok and that you have your two dogs! As women it can be scary out there. Always vary your routine and be aware of your surroundings. My husband works third shift and we got cameras on our house and I can't tell you how much more secure it makes me feel when he's not here. Let your friends in the building know, as well. Sending you lots of hugs! Stay safe.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I hope that it calms down soon, that you're able to start feeling safe in your life again and that whoever has fixated on you so strongly is brave enough to get help for themselves for their fixation so that they can feel safe in their own life again.
You're so loved and supported. Just keep doing what you're doing, Annie.
having experienced similar, i'm so sorry you're dealing with this. i hope things are far safer moving forward and whoever, gets some help for their lack of respect of others personhood. much love to you.
I'm sad that this is the first video of yours that was suggested to me, but also grateful to have found this lovely space you have made on youtube. All I have to say is, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I have been in two stalker situations in my life time and I don't think people understand just...the sense of security you lose. The comfort you built for yourself destroyed. The constant looking over your shoulder. In my case I knew them both too, so thinking I caught a glimpse of them in a crowd of people was the worst. It has taken some time, but I feel I am in a safe place now. Time really does heal all. My wish for you is that you find that sense of security and safety again in your own home. It really sucks when we open ourselves to the world and that is the favor returned to us. The most heart breaking for me was when you described your love of your window and natural light and how now you have curtains there. Windows also are a love of mine and during my situation it was one of the first things I shuttered off.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it made something that I went through feel more valid. To keep it short in 2018 I was walking my roommate’s dog and it was Christmas break so most people in my apartment complex were gone for the holidays. Both my roommates were working, so it was just me and a medium sized dog. As I was unlocking my front door, a van from across the street peeled out and pulled into our parking lot. A guy came out and started catcalling and hitting on me and asking me invasive questions, it was uncomfortable. He ended the conversation by saying he couldn’t leave without petting my dog and he finally dropped it when I told him she hated men (she had been growling the whole time and was a good protector).
I knew where this guy lived, it was right next door, I had walked by the apartment complex while walking the dog. Since there wasn’t actually a law broken I couldn’t go to the cops cause they would just view it as a “girl who cried wolf” situation. And talking to someone isn’t illegal (although it is a grey area since he was sexualizing me verbally). He had also only given me a nickname he went by. All I could do was go back by his apartment complex later with my boyfriend and take pictures of the guys license plate and van in case something happened to me later. Thankfully we moved out a few months later.
It affected me more than I thought cause this man knew exactly where I lived and I don’t know what would have happened if my roommate’s dog wasn’t with me. I am glad you are taking precautions and if you have physical evidence to start a case or restraining order against someone that is great, but I know how often stalkers aren’t taken seriously. I think you are doing great with countermeasures and changing your schedule. The fear and anxiety should fade in time. For me it took a few years to get over and I had to take steps to not become agoraphobic. Thank you again for sharing because like you said this shouldn’t be normal, and victims of stalking shouldn’t be blamed for someone else’s behavior.
Well done, brave lady. Saying it out loud, to an audience of online strangers is scary - it puts it all 'out there', so is well beyond your comfort zone, to say the least. But this is your global family. And we are wishing you the best. You'll be just fine. The stalker is needy and you are very powerful. Just remember that. Big hugs and white light being sent your way xxx
I'm so sorry that this person has made you feel fearful! When I was younger I came home one day and an intruder who had broke in heard me and went out my back door...it's a horrible violation of one's space. This person may not even know you are a content creator. I send you and your dogs prayers of protection. ❤
I am just so sorry that someone feels like they should have access to your life in that way. That is so scary and I wish you safety and peace.
TY for telling us! Sending you protection and strength. Don't worry too much, that's what they want. Be vigilant and strong! we love you
So sorry this happened, it happened to me years ago and it felt like I couldn’t breathe in my own home.
I took precautions and eventually found who it was and sent a cease and desist order to him.
It actually made me more sad than scared and I hope this is the last that you experience of this.
I’m so sorry, that’s truly terrifying! The police told me that about best security measures you can take are door security bars (for when you’re in the house) and camera doorbells. Idk if that helps at all, I just wanted to pass that along. Please stay safe!
It hurts my heart to know that you've had to go through this negative experience. But seeing you making the choice not to live in fear and take back control of your life sends a very powerful message. You matter deeply to your follower community who is standing with you. Be safe and keep being your amazing self.
so so scary! please inform the authorities and make sure to take all precautions
I'm so sorry you are going through something so scary. Good job, though for alerting all your neighbors and landlord. Cameras were an excellent idea. I hope whoever it is/was will stop altogether. No one deserved to feel unsafe and scared. Your home is your safe place and should never be violated. Your privacy is yours and it doesn't matter if you are on the internet, people should respect you as a human and respect your personal life. You have a right to feel safe and relaxed in your own home. Thank you for sharing this scary situation, because there are so many others who go through this and stay quiet. We need to be aware of these stalker issues so laws can be made and safety upholded.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's very scary. Seems your dogs are not only scared but protective. The cameras were a smart move. Thank you for being inspiring, and I will do blessings for you. Stay safe.
I'm so sorry this happened. I hope you can find peace and feel safe again. I've been watching your videos for years and I appreciate how honest and real you are. I'm glad you took the precations you did. As woman who also lives in a large city, I know how scary and awful it is that you even have to do these things. I hope whoever was acting inappropriately learns their behavior is not okay.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Definitely inform the cops, have CCTVs installed. I really hope whoever creep did this is put to justice. You are incredibly strong and inspiring to keep doing what you do and sharing even your difficult moments with your audience
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is unfortunate that there are people out in the world that be like that. I am very glad that you are okay and sad that you have to deal with it. Sending strength and comfort. Blessed be.
I am not sure why but youtube algorithm showed me this video as the first contact with you. You genuinely seem like such a nice and kind hearted person, I am so incredibly sorry this happened to you… I think I would definitely move homes, maybe even countries, I couldn’t live in a place with a history like this :((( my anxiety would never leave
It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful so scared. Thank you so much for sharing this, your story is so important.
My home has been broken into many times over the years. I know the feeling to be afraid, and not feel safe in your own home.
I'm glad you've taken precautions and that you are all right. Sending so much love to you and your puppies. It will get better, I know it
I know it was very hard to make that video and hope others appreciate your openess. You've done a good job of taking it seriously and responding well. I'm looking forward to a positive update in the near future!
Im really sorry this has happened. UA-cam should be a place you can peacefully create, and it is really alarming when people try to do that sort of thing. It’s not ok, and well done you for calling it out, and talking about it.
Thank you for sharing. It takes alot to share but people need to know that these actions have consequences. Sending comfort and love.
Oh sweet Annie, I'm so sorry you're having to go through these awful and traumatic experiences. A lot of people seem to like to tell you what to do, but no one really knows how it feels and how crazy-making stalking can cause you to feel. I'm a survivor and I won't tell you what to do, but I'd definitely suggest some counseling. Untreated PTSD can easily transform into destabilizing anxiety and even agoraphobia in some extreme cases. I'm not a medical professional, but as a wise woman nearing my 4th decade, I've had some experiences and know what I'm talking about. It's one reason I live in the middle of nowhere in nature, for peace of mind. I bless you with that peace and am sending you white light protection little witch. Many blessings darlin, from N. Cal. Please be safe, you're so valuable to the world!
NO ONE has the right to make you feel like this in your own home my lovely. I am so so sorry this is happening to you! 😮❤
It does not matter whether you are a utuber or not, it is YOUR home my dear. PLEASE do not allow someone who has no boundaries, stop you from being YOU! ✨️🕯
Take it step by step, day by day & it will work out for you. There are ALWAYS different ways you can approach the way you work lovely.
Well done on the braveness & courage it has taken in making this video & speaking out loud! 👏👏
Bummer for sure! Keep creating and keep 'crafting'.
Have a Blessed Yule.
That sounds so scary. I hope that it gets fully resolved as soon as it can.
You poor thing, you look so hurt and tired! ;; Please, please be sure to reach out to local police/authorities if only to start a paper trail. I dealt with stalker issues in the past and didn't make the police aware at any time and it made seeking help so much more difficult down the line. Please be safe, please take the best care of yourself that you can, and please remember that we're here for you to support however we're able to whether you need to take time to handle personal situations or not. Your safety and comfort always comes before our desire for taking in content
I second this 100%
Yes, start the paper trail. Alert the authorities. ❤
