Can you sleep over at your parents or a friend?

After the shock passes I would take a self defense class (maybe one that teaches you how to dissarm a ****-tard like the one that did that to you) something to empower you and give you confidence.

Ice cream helps too, you can't say no to ice cream!

go talk to a counselor... I bet they can help you learn to deal with the stress and fear of that horrible experience. I can't believe your work wouldn't offer grief counseling.. ask them..
hang in there..

hugssss

Visit a psychologist to discuss what you experienced. If therapy doesn't prove helpful, he may recommend that you see a doctor for medication to help you get through this traumatic period.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. I had a similar experience, and it took awhile to get over.

atasteforsuffering is right, you are experiencing post traumatic stress disorder. It will take time and counseling, and is a common thing to go through after such an event. Do yourself a favor and get some help. I don't know if you have insurance or not, if not I would talk to your employer and see if they can help out with the cost. good luck and *hugs*

Wow, very traumatic. Will take work to overcome this ptsd. Professional counseling may be needed, however you may be able to treat yourself. Do what makes you sane, exercise, go outside, take a vacation, scream, do something.
And thank the lord you were not killed.

Get Rolladen shutters. It helped my insecurity issues when my ex kept smashing windows and breaking in! Then you can sleep nights.

Definitely see a psycho-therapist. He or she can help you get through the trauma. Your workmans comp should pay for the therapy.
don't self medicate get professional help.
