I second Timotheuss's comment OP, Big hugs from Australia - Keep your head up.

Out of interest, what medium are you being interviewed for?

I am currently being harrassed by an unknown induvidual, Ive had messaged carved into my door, phone calls of silence and random throwaway account threats on social media.

Any advice? Ive been to the police, they are on alert of sorts but cannot do alot until they 'complete an investigation' (which i've been told is relatively unlikely to amount to anything)

Cheers for that advice, havent really considered that - I usually hold it by my side when I feel threatened (not a common occurrence, I assure you) - Ive spent the last 25 minutes asking my partner to try to grab it from me -- You are 100% correct, everytime I hold it close, I can use my body to lever it away from my SO's grab-hold, whereas when im holding it by my side, my SO can grab it and throw me off balance and take it -- you just taught me a vital technique! thanks again, friend.

Thank you so much for your response - Unfortunately I live in Australia (I should have mentioned that - sorry!) so gun's are almost completely out of the scale of home defense for me, I do however, have an axe next to my bed at all times, various hunting knives stashed in tactical positions, and always carry a shank on me (only since it began, I am no violent person)

I am going to look into a dog first thing tomorrow.

Thank you again for your response.
