    Also, what do people recommend I do post being charged by a methhead. I’ve got to work but I’m still in a state of fear

      Not sure whether you can, but forget the encounter. The other party has most likely forgotten you entirely.

      Perhaps instead direct the dark thoughts to what you might do differently should a similar thing happen again?

      I agree with Nath, you should just try and move on from it however you can. Once you get somewhere safe, ask if you can take 5 minutes to recollect yourself before you start work.

      You can make a police report if you think it’ll make you feel better, but imo that’s a waste of time. The cops will just take a statement and put it in some forgotten file somewhere. It’s very unlikely that unless somebody was injured they will investigate at all, and even if they do and they charged the crackhead (even more unlikely), they’ll probably just be released or otherwise receive some penalty that doesn’t make you feel any better about it. They won’t go to prison.
