Stalking involves repeated, unwanted attention or contact that causes fear or distress.
It can take many forms, both physical and digital.
Common signs include persistent calls, messages, or emails — even after being told to stop.
A stalker may follow someone, show up uninvited at their home, workplace, or regular hangouts, or send unwanted gifts. They might monitor a person’s movements through social media, surveillance, or by asking others.

Staying healthy and comfortable during your period starts with good hygiene and self-care. Change sanitary products regularly—every 4 to 6 hours—to prevent infections. Eat balanced meals rich in iron, fruits, and vegetables to replenish lost nutrients and boost energy. Stay hydrated and limit caffeine or salty foods, which can worsen bloating. Light exercise like walking or yoga can ease cramps and improve mood. Prioritize rest and manage stress through relaxation techniques.

Nausea can be caused by motion sickness, food poisoning, infections, or pregnancy. It may also result from migraines, anxiety, or certain medications. Digestive issues like acid reflux or gastritis can trigger nausea as well. Staying hydrated is important when managing nausea. Ginger tea is commonly used to relieve nausea symptoms. Clear fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions, and peppermint tea can also help. Avoiding greasy, strong-smelling, or spicy foods can prevent worsening of nausea.
