I started Uni and left my part time job, where I was traumatized two years ago and suffered from PTSD after. The abuser would come in and laugh at me, management weren't doing anything and yeah, free reign. I got private therapy and was told I had PTSD, and for two years I got therapy. I got onto a degree at Uni and I left to go full time after a couple of months, leaving behind the memories and the trauma that was inflicted on me which happened in front of everyone at my job.
Following this, I started therapy with a new therapist. She told me, that I was still suffering from PTSD as I still had issues regarding it present. I knew I had never fully moved on (every couple of months these people showed up laughing at me/threatening me) and this would bring it back up. She said that I should try EMDR therapy as obviously talking about it was not helping like it should, reason being when you suffer a bad trauma sometimes you can actually suffer from it as it becomes trapped in your body, like physically?
After this session, I was very angry but also started to feel more like myself than I had in ages after quitting my job (it's been about 3 weeks since I quit now). As I say though after this session I felt extremely angry, and I had another one yesterday where she took part of a history and I got home and just... Started to feel cold. It isn't the only trauma I have suffered, I have suffered others too like abusive step dad and so on. I felt, how I felt when these things were happening when I was speaking to her.
She also told me that mainly me staying at the job had reset my threat detection repeatedly, because of the fact they kept coming in and because when I went to management they weren't interested this just made it worse. When I got home, I didn't really feel tired, I just feel physically cold. I'm not on antidepressants any more, I stopped taking them when I knew I was leaving, but I just feel so angry, and so cold. Is this normal?
