Trying to calm down after 6 hours after Stressful situation

Post Reply New Topic

I do a satirical puppet web series and I used to be on public access TV. There's still some people who've seen it on public access that watch it now on the internet and put some of my videos on their blogs and such. I made a fictional character on my show and I did only one episode using the puppet. Let's just call this puppet "Mr. Smith". I made the episode last month and I guess the fans are just discovering the episode so they but it on their blogs and they are sharing them around and such. I get a nasty message from Myspace that basically said "How dare you make fun of me, you should take the time to learn my life story and really know this women". I had no idea what the heck this person was talking about. So I write three messages back panicing on how It has nothing to do with that person. So this person wants me to call him so I did in complete fear. I'm panicing on the phone like I'm chatting with a terrorist or something. He tells me to calm down, he doesn't mean any harm he has a family. So he askes me about the name of this puppet (aka Mr Smith) and I tell him that it's a work of fiction then he says that his last name is Smith and he asks if I know a certain person......and this person I didn't know too well but is a fan from public access. He keeps me on the phone for 25 minutes talking about his relationship with this person and how things started to get ugly when she started saying nasty things about him on public access and on the internet. So he thought that my work was associated with them. He admitted that he kind of stalked this person but only for his own privacy so he wanted to know if I was saying horrible things about him which wasn't true.

Well, the good thing that came out of it all was he seemed very nice on the phone, apologized to me for the whole mess and said that he was going to quit stalking and move on with his life.


It took me about 7 hours and continuing to move on from this whole mess.

I need friends to help me with this, so that's why I came back to this forum to talk about it because you can understand what it's like struggling to move on from a stressful situation.

Well I am glad he came to his senses and did not continue on being a stalkie jerk... but I am sorry you had to go through that in the first place. I understand recovery time... it's not easy and it never happens fast enough. But you can write now, so there is improvement. Keep on getting better. You're doing good.

Wow that sounds scary. It's lucky you called him.

He wanted me to call him because he told me that he sucked at typing.

He ended up sounding like a nice person on the phone. He's just got some problems. I was asking myself, why stalk your ex-girlfriend if you are already married to someone else, you have kids and your about 50 years old.

It's a good thing he told me that he's quitting this stalking stuff and that he appoligized to me and explained this whole mess. I told him that I was Aspie which probably made him feel more like a jackass.

It's hard to move on but I feel after the good night's sleep last night, I feel better and feel that I can laugh at this situation. But it's hard when you are lonely and don't have any friends to help laugh with you...........you know what I mean? It's like, why am I the only one who goes through crap like this but I guess everyone does in life. Aspie or NT.
