"The nightmares are intensifying, I can't sleep properly anymore. I'm getting pains. I'm struggling to cope. And then the nightmare comes to life. He's here, the only place I have left to be safe - and he's found me. Is this the beginning of something much worse?"

LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty shares her experience of being stalked, when a listener became obsessed and started to follow her. Stalking pushed her to the edge of coping. It's changed her forever and now she's trying to find a way to carry on.

One in five women will be victims of stalking in their lifetime. We might think we're safe - but are we really?

If you think you or someone around you is being stalked, please can the police or the national stalking helpline on 0808 802 0300.
