Scared And Can't Stop

[idougame]

Hey everyone,
I hope you are all well.
I am taking the opportunity to tell you this during the school holidays- the last before the exams start.

The other week I was at school walking to my English class from a hell of a history lesson. I was already quite upset from an incident that took place in my history class so was feeling quite fragile. What made it worse was the huge crowd I encountered who were all watching a fight. The fight was between two 16 year olds so because of their age, were the size of grown men. I didn't get hurt or even touched but the noise and the size of crowd meant that I was terrified. I went to English, sat down and cried. I was shaking for the rest of the lesson and thought I was going to throw up.

I want to know has something like this happened to someone else or am I just weird?
I wish you all well and hope you are all very happy.
Love From

Nope, not weird, just triggered. Sounds like you could have used some support. Did you have to sit through the whole English lesson that way?! Did the teacher notice at all and try to check in?

I have had times when I see something and get triggered and end up reacting in similar ways even if I wasn't in any harm. For me it is the situation that brings up memories from the past and then the past and present get confused and cause the high anxiety/panic attack/dissociation reaction in me.

I did have to sit through the rest of the lesson because my English teacher isn't exactly that compassionate. So I am normal then? Thank you! xx

Can't say that I know what normal is :), but I don't think it's weird or an abnormal reaction when triggered by something. Sorry that you didn't have any support throughout that.
