jmo, wow the loud noise bells buzzers bangs and booms....... when i was n school i had to watch the clock cause everytime the period bells went off it was like a granade exploded next to me. if it caught me off guard, frgetaboutit, i wouldn't know where i was, what was nex, hwere my locker was....... anythng, and i only had 3 minutes to recover and figure it out and get to my next class. i had to keep my schedule close to hand so i could figure out where i was by where i was ....... it was a horrid existance. i could never concentrate fully on lessons because i had to watch the clock.

30 years later, when at Lily Tomlin's play: The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe, she used the sound of cherry bombs going off to signify scene changes. I missed most of the show (even though i was sitting right there).

My suggestion is that Personnel be notified that she has PTSD and that she be warned of (and maybe allowed to wear noise cancelling headphones?) on those days or reassigned or.......

I agree that speaking with her while she's calm and making a plan to take care of her when she's been bombed is a great idea. I would have appreciated someone steering me to where I could feel safe so I could calm down. I had to deal with it all by myself. It sucked big time. Just like being bombed. No kidding. Thank you so much for getting involved.
I'm sure just that is a great comfort to her.
