Sarah’s right. Go to the police. But first, write down every incident you can think of that involved this guy stalking you. That way, you can show the cops the dates and times of when he (or they) harassed you.

I know, its just I had 2 incidents in the last 6/7 months which were bad. bout also a couple of other occasions guys came up to me but i then could physically easily get away. atm im vulnerable after the operation and some guys would see that and more likely follow me.
It has upset me a lot, that they won’t leave me in peace. like my life belongs to them and not for me.

I might go to the bus station next week for advice about what to do if it happens again as i have quite a bit of free time as time of uni for operation time to recover.
would going to the police help as well? like ask advice?

It might help. It seems like part of their job to try to make people feel safe and secure out in public.

At the very least they could tell you what self-defense things might be useful.

I don’t remember the dates when these incidents happened to be honest. Im sure they might ask advice, the counsilor I see is good but I don’t find her advice for the stalking guys all that helpful.

Im scared of the same men and any men of following me. it feels like, its happened a fair few times before, its likely to happen again. ESPECIALLY if im vulnerable.

well where I live where there are a lot of guys from the middle east who come from a male dominant society. they are more possessive over women there so been influenced that way. I very rarely have problems with english guys.
