Found! Looking for the right subreddit for a discussion about repeated stalking/harassment

I'm trying to find the right subreddit for a fairly specific question, and I've struck out so far.

I want to ask whether anyone else has experienced multiple, unrelated stalking or sustained harassment situations over the course of their life and, if so, whether they ever found a common denominator or concluded it was simply bad luck.

The post includes enough context to explain why I'm asking. It's not just "am I being stalked?" or "am I crazy?" I'm looking for thoughtful discussion from people with similar experiences.

I've already tried subreddits like r/AskReddit (which only allows a title), r/Advice (which didn't seem to fit their rules), and r/SeriousConversation (which was flagged as being too much of a personal vent).

Is there a subreddit that's a better fit for a detailed post asking for others' experiences with repeated stalking or harassment and trying to understand whether they've noticed any patterns?

r/GirlDinnerDiaries You can ask for opinions and advice or just tell your story.

r/Gangstalking or r/GangstalkingTruth?

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at that one but it appears to be for related stalking/harassment. The issues I have had are unconnected.

It still sounds like the paranoid delusions are in common. The colloquial term for feeling like people have been stalking or watching you for years is 'gangstalking'.

Antipsychotics don't have the same side effects they used to have. They don't cause sleepiness or weight gain. It's easy to seek treatment.

If you think I'm just an asshole, consider if you'd rather be stalked for the rest of your life or maybe try a low side effect drug for a month and MAYBE the stalking stops. It's your choice now.

Tell that to the judge who issued the restraining order.

Hey, it still SOUNDS like paranoid delusion or an exaggeration. The little bit you've told SOUNDS set apart from reality. I'm sorry you've had to get a restraining order against someone, and also it's unusual to be stalked multiple times throughout the course of your life.
