The Impact of Organized Stalking on Physical and Mental Health:
TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF
Organized stalking is a complex and distressing phenomenon that can deeply affect individuals on both physical and mental levels. It involves coordinated efforts by multiple individuals or groups to harass, intimidate, or undermine a person, often leading to a pervasive sense of fear and isolation. Understanding the implications of organized stalking and prioritizing self-care is essential for those affected.
Understanding Organized Stalking
Organized stalking can take many forms, including:
Surveillance: Constant monitoring of an individual’s activities, both in public and private spaces.
Harassment: Aggressive behaviors intended to provoke anxiety, fear, or distress.
Isolation: Efforts to cut the individual off from support systems, friends, and family.
These tactics can lead to a feeling of being perpetually unsafe, resulting in significant emotional and psychological distress.
Mental Health Impacts
1. Anxiety and Panic Disorders: The constant threat of harassment can lead to heightened anxiety levels. Individuals may experience panic attacks and a pervasive sense of dread.
2. Depression: Feelings of helplessness and isolation can lead to depression, making it challenging to engage in daily activities or maintain relationships.
3. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Continuous harassment may result in symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, nightmares, and severe emotional distress.
4. Hypervigilance: Victims may develop an overwhelming sense of paranoia, feeling that they cannot trust anyone, which can further isolate them.
Physical Health Impacts
The stress and anxiety associated with organized stalking can also manifest physically:
1. Sleep Disorders: Chronic stress can lead to insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, which can exacerbate mental health issues and overall well-being.
2. Cardiovascular Problems: Prolonged stress can contribute to heart problems, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular diseases.
3. Gastrointestinal Issues: Stress can lead to digestive problems, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal discomfort.
4. Weakened Immune System: Ongoing stress can compromise the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illness.
Self-Care Strategies
Taking care of oneself is crucial for anyone affected by organized stalking. Here are some strategies to promote mental and physical well-being:
1. Seek Professional Help: Talk to a mental health professional who can provide support and coping strategies. Therapy can be invaluable in processing trauma and developing resilience. You just have to be careful about what you say to them. Don't say I'm being gangstalked and when they ask “Who's doing it?” Don't say “It's everybody.” This is completely optional but not required. Most therapists or mental health professionals are already involved in this crime syndicate.
2. Build a Support Network: Reach out to trusted friends and family members if you have any that you CAN trust. The deep state may turn them against you dwindling your support. Building a support network can counteract feelings of isolation.
3. Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Engage in mindfulness meditation, yoga, or deep-breathing exercises to manage stress and promote relaxation.
4. Stay Active: Regular physical activity can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
5. Establish Routines: Creating daily routines can provide structure and a sense of normalcy, which can be comforting in the face of chaos.
6. Limit Exposure to Triggers: Identify and limit exposure to situations or environments that increase stress or anxiety. This one is impossible for me because you guys know how they do me. Mine is touch trauma.
7. Educate Yourself: Understanding the dynamics of organized stalking can empower individuals and help them develop strategies to cope with their experiences.
8. Prioritize Sleep and Nutrition: Ensure you are getting adequate rest and nutrition to support both mental and physical health.
Conclusion
Organized stalking can have profound impacts on both physical and mental health. Recognizing these effects and prioritizing self-care is crucial for anyone affected. By seeking support, practicing healthy habits, and educating oneself, individuals can begin to reclaim their lives and mitigate the harmful effects of organized stalking. Taking care of yourself is not just an act of self-preservation; it's a vital step toward healing and resilience.
****STORYTIME WITH CIARA ❤️💜❤️*****
So 2 days ago I had a doctor's visit with a holistic doctor here in Bellevue and this was a new place because I usually would go somewhere else but I had moved from Seattle to Bellevue, the distance was just too far for me to go. I was extremely nervous and anxious so anxious that I could feel the hair on the back stand on end. I did the height and weight measurements then was taken in the back to have my blood pressure checked along with the rest of my vital signs. After checking my blood pressure on my left arm with the wrist cuff the nurse said “It's a little high.” Then she left room, came back in and said let's check it manually. I was like ok, then she said the results were the same. She left once again, came back and tried on the right arm. The results were similar. Moments later, the doctor enters and tells me that my blood pressure was 215/151, I fell out my chair and she was like omg Ciara are you ok? I was like is she for real? She was like we usually send people like this to the ER. I was like I'm not sure I want to do that so she gave me some meds to bring it down with minimal side effects for the next 30 days and I have to go back in the next 3 weeks to check my cholesterol and cortisol levels. I saw alot about high cortisol levels all over Tik Tok so Im sure mine is in a very high range. I take lots of natural supplements as well because I don't trust Western medicine as it is.
I went to pick up the high blood pressure meds, and immediately started an exercise routine, I walked on the treadmill and did some calisthenics for about 30 minutes. I gained weight during COVID and the lockdowns taking care of my dog, my client, lack of sleep due to my busy at home work schedule because I'm trying to complete various projects and meet certain deadlines, trying to maintain a low salt diet, managing stress, then you add targeting on top of that and there you go. So it's a combination of things, that's not just predicated on a single issue.
I also get symptoms of Havana Syndrome Im not sure if that's related to why my blood pressure was so high, but I know that I would get a headache at the back of my head and ringing in my ears. I went for a jog today and got ringing in my ear that was weird because I only thought that happened at home.
Anywho, I decided to open up about this because I want to help someone out there who may be experiencing this same thing. Take care of yourself, I know physical fitness is tough when you're being targeted I know but try to make time for don't let your health atrophy. Hang in there guys we're almost at the finish line.
