I have PTSD and it narrows down certain places where I would feel "safe" working at. The only places I would really feel safe at would be hospitals. Other places would be office type work environments, but literally everywhere else I can think of makes me feel unsafe. Working night shift would make me feel afraid, working in hotels, kitchens, restaurants, grocery stores, or very public places would make me feel edgy or less safe.
I guess my question is, what are some "Safe" work environments for a petite woman in her 20s? Hospitals? That's literally the only thing I can think of and its kind of narrowing my options a little bit.
Background - before I got "attacked" I was brought up with a very over-protective parent who basically taught me that I should be protected at all times because the world isn't safe...also I'm a very petite attractive woman in my 20s and I'm not even exaggerating when I say men stare at me all the time when I enter buildings like I'm a piece of meat for sale. I literally have to turn guys down from asking my number whenever I just go grocery shopping, I'm not trying to boast or sound conceited, but this raises my fear level and it makes me really uncomfortable so I'm trying to find a "Safe" work environment where I won't be in a shady place, working shady hours, being alone or in potentially dangerous situations.
Please don't just say, "Go see a therapist" because I'm already aware that I should feel safe everywhere. I'm working on it.
