It’s sad to say these words…I was attacked and injured from my students. It was not their fault, such behaviors are a part of their disability so I am ashamed for these thoughts and feelings. I cannot not sleep, startled, nightmares, flashbacks and even moments where I lose concentration/memory.
Feelings I was trying to hide for years became apparent to the point my doctors referred me for PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression.
It’s been exhausting, embarrassing and frustrating. Years dedicating my life to students, gone. I had a purpose and love for my students now overwhelmed with fears. How did I get here? What do I do now?
