I am so sorry that you had to experience that and now you cannot un-experience it and not be able to feel not afraid any more. I would have been so upset at the person who robbed me of that kind of peace of mind. I am sorry. {{{{hugs}}}}

I heard that story about DC where I live and I thought the same thing. It's sad that we have to constantly be looking over our shoulders and assuming that something bad is going to happen. I hate living like that.

Oh my dear I haven't had the terror so direct but my last 3 places I've lived have been robbed and that since of your safety being taken away still haunts me. I'm right there with you sometimes the things around us are just too overwhelming and scary. Hugs SWEETIE!

I can't get over stealing phones, wow people!

When I was a kid I was afraid of everything. I used to lay in bed trembling in fear because I thought someone was breaking into the house. Night after night I'd wake up and be terrified. One day, years after this started, there really was someone there and my Dad chased the guy away because instead of being paralyzed I ran to my parents room and woke them up. No 911 in those days. I think that was one of the last days that I was afraid like that. I have a healthy regard for my safety, that's for sure, but I do my best not to let it get the best of me.

My husband has the new on from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed. I am now numb from it – they can't scare me – but then again, I don't have a child. My outlook on life may be different if that was the case.

That sucks. I'm sorry you have that to battle. PTSD sucks.

I think you should take a class that teaches how to throw your iphone right between someone's eyes to knock them out. heehee

I refuse to let anyone take my freedom. Take back your life and live it. You can't let them scare you into not living. 😀

Come on Unknown Mami you don't have to be afraid. You actually have experienced so much more than anyone I know:) Pull from that experience and know that if some B@tch @ss comes up to you with some crap like wanting your phone you take you big purse and bash him over the head with it and them beat him with your phone:)

Sorry you aren't feeling safe- that's a crappy, crappy feeling. I would say good luck with your fear, but I know when fear gets to that stage it takes more than luck. So stay safe.

I wish there were an easy answer for you. Our world frequently sucks. But at the same time, bending to it and hiding from it only gives it that much more power. Something bad may happen, but I prefer to focus on the joy that it brings to take those pictures and do that bragging. I just hope it gets better someday.

It's terrible when our sense of safety is rattled by the selfishness of others. My iPhone is in my hand almost non-stop and I can't imagine that making me a target of crime. I know this, however, you do know what you're made of and you do know what your man is made of, s when that panic starts to sneak up, remind ourself how amazingly strong you are and that you will be okay.

It's funny. Most of my life I have been a wimp. I avoid conflict like it's a disease but since I have become a mom, there is a ferocious streak inside of me. And you are so much stronger than I so as I said, I know that you will be alright!

A while ago I made a decision I wasn't going to let the cruelty of others stop me from enjoying my life. As soon as I let that happen, they have won. I don't deliberatly put myself in danger but I don't hide away from it. I'm fortunate that I live in a part of the world where the risks are few and I hope my community can manage to stay that way.

I wish there was something I could say that would make you feel better, but I know there isn't. I tend to be a somewhat fearful person myself. Definitely stay far away from the damn news, it's enough to turn us all into total agoraphobics!
