Paranoid that my ex will take legal action against me for DMing her through a Reddit account after a month of stopping and her blocking another one of my Reddit accounts. I deleted them soon after but she still might have seen my chat request. I used to text her number but I deleted it because I wanted to stop. She has only told me to stop contacting her once initially. I did for one month, but then I had a bad period where I would try to reach out once every 7-10 days. Then I stumbled across her profile on Reddit and then stopped for another month. I'm started therapy to heal and stop this toxic behavior. Will I probably be ok though if I stop for good now?

take a xan. for real. you just gotta chill out on these sort of things, maybe play video games or watch tv or go out or something to take your mind off this shit. i understand, and ive been in similar positions, but you just gotta do it.

Really? It's just women scare me sometimes especially these days. She was emotionally unstable in her own ways.

I assume that you're worried she wants to get a protection order? Often mistakenly called restraining orders. Knowing from past experience, filing for one is a massive pain in the ass and time consuming. It's really only worthwhile when the respondent is showing up at someone's door or is otherwise poses a threat to the petitioner (eg if the respondent's behavior warrants a weapons surrender). Reason being is that minor violations of a protective order (such as direct or indirect contact) typically only amount to civil contempt which judges rarely bother charging respondents with anyway.
ASSUMING that you haven't threatened her and that she isn't scared of you (usually a requirement for a protection order), any lawyer or judge worth their salt would advise her against bothering with getting a protection order. The process of filing, providing documentation, serving the respondent, showing up to court, and so on is a pain in the ass. Speaking from experience as a protection order petitioner (not respondent).
Knock it off and call off this behavior for good. Don't tell her that you're stopping, even if it seems tempting. Reaching out to her is not going to do you any favors, ever.

Thank you anon. This is reassuring.
>ASSUMING that you haven't threatened her and that she isn't scared of you
All of my messages have been respectful and normal. But she was hypervigilant about everything and so I think that's why I'm paranoid. We only dated/knew each other for four months, so I'm sure she thinks there's a possibility that I could be legit insane and not just heartbroken and emotionally unstable.

You're welcome. Now keep in mind repeated unwanted contact upon explicit notice that it is unwanted often constitutes stalking. Depends on the state however this is the case in mine. But unless you've done something to genuinely frighten her and push her to get a PO, I don't think she'd bother. Again, there's little benefit even in severe cases of cyber harassment because minor violations typically amount to civil contempt charges. Rarely do judges actually bother with pressing these unless the respondent really pisses off the judge somehow.
My rationale behind filing for a PO was in response to a very bad situation that had been going on for over a decade. The respondent burgled my childhood home, made threats to kill my family, called the cops on us incessantly and made shit up to harass my family, blablabla. So it was warranted.
Even if your ex did bother with getting a PO and you were to lose in court, it wouldn't pose any harm to you as long as you follow it. It more or less amounts to a firm "stay the fuck away". Very unlikely that even a minor violation would get you in actual legal trouble, although it's best to avoid her at all costs. That is what she wants anyway and you should respect that.
