I just wanted to say how I can empathise with the walking down the street and people following situation. I experience similar. For me it's mainly because I was severely bullied at school, including them following me. I don't go to such lengths as carry a knife, but I have all kinds of avoidance measures to help me 'cope' with it.
I'm working on it in therapy, but it takes time.
Dissociation is often a defence, a protection against feelings that are hard to face. Is there anything like that that might be causing it?
