Unnecessary anxiety??

I am one of a few Jews living in a small Norfolk town. I already have strikes against me being an autistic American with no friends who has experienced my car being "keyed", having two tyres let down, damage to recently installed fencing on my driveway. Now with this Israelie war and an apparent widspread refusal in the UK population to condemn the barbaric attack by Hamas as reported on our News media --- am I being unnecessarily anxious?

  • My solution is to keep a low profile despite the wellbeing issues it presents

  • There is prejudice everywhere my friend, all of the time, for so many things, some obvious, a lot that is not so obvious.

    I absolutely do fully understand your position and pain, I know what it is like to not feel safe, I know what it is like to not feel safe in your own home and also when it drags on for years, and I know what it feels like when people are not listening or doing anything to stop it, it takes a huge toll on your mental and physical health.

    I do hope you can find a solution, also some peace and respite somehow.

  • Yes I had reported these attacks to my property. There exists a very long history of several thousands of years supporting my anxious concerns. The UK is a fair and open society with self expression, but is not free of prejudice. (Ref: Jews Don't Count - D. Baddiel )

    That has helped my anxiety a great deal. Thanks for your input

  • Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If you are being targeted for your religion or your disability, it's a hate crime. Maybe you need to report these attacks on your property, maybe you have already?I have no idea as you don't specify. 

    Please don't assume that the people you are talking to have not been through far worse than what you describe in your post.

    Sorry for your troubles.
