Home invasion robbery. Woke up, middle of the night, to find a mean looking burglar looking down at me. Ran screaming from my house in my underwear.
Couldn't function for days, then weeks. Finally, a policewoman I talked to told me I had delayed stress from the robbery. I realized it was not my only time scared out of my wits as a crime victim. I had developed what amounted to a phobia of life. Had I been less scared, I might have become a Vigilante. As it was, I went into therapy. And it helped.
