Do I go see him and or should I just give it time until I see him?
seriously feeling lost.

You are in your full right to protect yourself from triggers (even if that is persons) if that is helpful to you.
If this is a person you can run into now and then, may be it is worth the time to sit down and sort out what you will say next time (how much and what words and how to answer questions from that person). May be you will have to do a lot of preparation before you feel safe enough, but so it is, preparing for something, either if it's a trigger, an exam or a person, always takes time.
If you teach yourself some relaxation exercises, that might help too and so might having a plan for what to do afterward.
Good luck!
