Back to work/ Triggers

[Theatrequeen]

Hello

So I’m back to work (date removed by Moderator) after the school holidays , what a Rollercoaster it’s been very up and down.

Trying to actually live my life after escaping the abuse !

I’ve got swimming training (date removed by Moderator), and I know that the amount of physical touch , and the way you have to be held under you chin (almost neck) and dragged around (to be rescued) is going to be a massive trigger for me, this kinda thing triggers flashbacks & panic attacks for me .

I’m so worried I’m going to look silly in front of the other staff (can’t explain to everyone) , feel like I need to warn someone incase they wonder what on earth is going on with me .

It’s a bit of a hard one for me to just come out with , none of the staff in this training are aware of what’s happened or my c-ptsd.

Not sure what to do .

I made it !, thank goodness we were only in the pool about an hour so alot less practical then I thought .

Think they just thought I was panicking about the water managed to keep a panic attack at bay until I had finished and was in the changing room alone so could then have one of my tablets to help with that .
