The real problem is that one can’t just assume that ‘its all in my head’ cos when you do that - its real. Heightened alertness is a known side effect of trauma - and I consider the ex-housemate as trauma on legs. Be gentle with yourself - the hyperalertness will dissipate over time. Sucks to go through it though.
Thank you TW. The nosies thing has happened before, but it’s affecting me a lot more now because I’m pretty sure it’s all in my head
