PTSD?
Hey guys. So I work in a daycare as an educator. So in the summer we went on a field trip with all the kids to the falls, and the water is super fast and I’m terrified of water to begin with. We had a little kid fall into the water and was in there for about 10 mins (thankfully someone was able to get the kid out), but the kid was hurt from hitting rocks, branches, and the really heavy tides. I watched him go down the really fast water struggling basically for his life. (No he did not go down the falls part, just the really fast water). I get REALLY anxious everytime I think of it, or pass the falls when driving by. And some days I think about it and can’t stop thinking about “what if no one saw the kid fall in?” “What if we weren’t able to get him out and he drowned?” ... all these questions keep circling my mind, and this was in July, and I’m still to this day struggling with it. No it’s not on my mind everyday but once in a while it’ll come back to haunt me and make me super anxious and sick to my stomach and sometimes keep me awake if I’m thinking about it at night. Should I talk to my doctor about this? Is it PTSD? Idk? I just get super fucking anxious when I think about it.... thank you for listening to me rant, just needed to rant and let it all out. Thank you for reading all the way to the end if you did❤️ any advice would be much appreciated.
