My post is going to be a little different. Not in a bad way. I simply want to ask for some advice.
But first, I just want to say some of the threads in this forum touched my heart. People are caring and respectful to each other. It's very nice compared to a lot of social media websites.
Last summer I went through a terrible experience. I think it could become a movie script or a book. I'm not sure which yet.
I am not a seasoned writer like some of you, so I feel inadequate to write my story. Plus I was so traumatized, it is hard to imagine writing it by myself. I can't even write this without crying. It was horrible thing to go through.
One of my neighbors who was an oddball character got mad at me. She decided to take revenge on me. She found a legal way to physically hurt me because I had a vulnerability she used against me. And she was quite successful in causing me to live in a horrific way for months until she moved.
What she did was injurious to my health, but not against the law because of the way she did it. I contacted the police, an attorney, and social agencies. And there was no stopping her. I suffered daily and recorded my crying and agony into a tape recorder. That was one way I survived. I wish I could say what it was, because then it would make perfect sense. This is very cryptic. It can't begin to explain how personal and horrifying this was. But I don't want to give my story away.
The stress has caused me chest pains for months. I am now on heart medication. The helplessness and horror was as bad as the Shining or Misery. That's why I thought of this website. Nobody could make this up. It is one of those things that you can't create in your imagination. And what I had to do to survive was sub human at times. I'm really glad my friends were there to support me.
She decimated my life. I didn't have a lot of money to begin with. I lost my savings trying to ameliorate the situation. This is the first time I have written anything about it online.
So, how do you tell your story and not have someone walk off and make a cheap version of it? Should I write it out and mail it to myself first? I would appreciate any help. Thank you so much.
