I am presently being treated for depression and anxiety from a student assault - with very sexual overtones. I was assaulted by a student 7 weeks ago. He and his buddy, of course, say that I pushed him first. Honestly, I was hiding behind the door and I handed him a referral to complete. He went ballistic - yanked the door, while I was holding it - injuring my arm and pushed his way. I begged him to stop touching me. He was abusively saying that this was my fault and he was coming in. Anyway this is the third event this year where I have been in hostile situations with students. I had one student rip open my drawer and broke it because I would not give him back his IPOD. I was sitting at the desk in the corner at the time. Then 5 young men started a brawl in the hall outside of my classroom. I told the students to lock the door behind me and went out to find these guys throwing each other against the lockers, the floor, everywhere! I was screaming at them and calling the front office on my personal cell - because we do not have phones in our rooms. The principal showed up but then he left. One student knocked two teachers to the floor.
 
Hello mathisfun! I too am a teacher who has been in similar situations as to what you have described...you are not alone! Are you currently seeing a psychiatrist? Please seek one out asap if you are not...that can get you some help in the right direction...find a counselor who is trained to deal with trauma as well...

I have heard that EMDR works well and am looking into it. Be well and stay safe
