Honest moment: I am not a fearful person. A few months ago I was chased down and pursued by a man while cycling home from work at night. He chased me in a car and tried to strike me with his car, then he chased me on foot after I crashed my bike to avoid him.

I ran to a family in an SUV and I think they saved my life. I starfished my body on the hood of their car so they would stop because other vehicles passed me. The man finally got back in his car and left.

ANYWAY… by the grace of God I was left unscathed.

But I have a lingering fear of going out alone at night and it is interfering with my ability to socialize. I feel a little nervous even walking after dinner like usually have done.

I want to overcome this feeling. I am not a fearful person.
