Dealing with Anxiety After ID Theft, What Else Can I Do?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been struggling with some serious anxiety after being a victim of identity theft. My SSN is out there, and even though I’ve taken steps like freezing my credit, getting an IRS PIN, and opting out of ChexSystems and LexisNexis, I still can’t shake this feeling of vulnerability. It feels like no matter what I do, my information is always at risk of being misused.

Has anyone here dealt with the same kind of anxiety? What did you do to cope, or are there additional steps I can take to help put my mind at ease? I know the steps I’ve taken are good, but it’s still hard to feel secure knowing that my SSN is exposed and out there.

I’d appreciate any tips or advice that’s helped you feel more in control of the situation!

Thanks!
