Hello all,
Basically I have a very weird bowt of anxiety right now. I used to be very conscious about my health, but that has faded, and now I am worrying about lots of other things. The main one, is a weird one, and most will probably think I am foolish for even worrying about this.
I have a neighbour who is known as a bit of a bad person. He has gone to prison a couple of times and he allegedly isn't very nice to his wife. He has never spoken to me directly, but speaks to my neighbour from time to time who I also speak to sometimes. The other day I was leaving my house with my girlfriend and he was standing across the road from me, and he looked at me as I was passing by. Now, this is where it becomes weird. My brain has told me that he is going to approach me, to hurt me or my family, or he is going to rob me, or worse. Now, I have no reason to believe he would do this, it's my anxiety in my mind. I'm not involved in any crime, I have never spoken to him or had any reason to, but my mind is telling me "he's going to do something bad to you."
I don't want to be scared to leave my house. Any suggestions for how I can make myself feel better?

EDIT: just to make it clear, he's lived there for about five years and I've lived here for about ten, and the reason I have suddenly begun to worry about this is because he looked at me.
This is not a joke, I'm actually worried about this. Anxiety,huh? :(
