Do you have anyone who will let you sleep at their place?
A woman’s self-defense class would probably be a good idea. If the one I took a while ago is a fair sample, it’s partly technique, but mostly cultivating the idea that it’s all right to defend yourself physically. You don’t need to win, just to be more trouble than attacking you is worth.

Not in a long-term sense. If this was happening more often, it might be worth it.

*nod* I’ll look into it. I already pretty well grok the idea that it’s okay to defend myself, though—my worry isn’t so much that I won’t struggle as that I won’t be very effective at it. (I’m not even remotely athletic.)
An ear can be bitten off with a mere 15 lbs of force, or something like that. To gouge out eyes you need to either catch them by surprise with their eyelids open, or have sharp nails and a fair bit of hand strength. Honestly, go for the ear. Just bite onto the top with your canines, and YANK.

Be unpredictable.
