At work, triggered BAD, just looking through intakes, doing some data entry, and there it says on someone's chart that she was raped last year.

BAM.

A shock to my system; I saw that girl last week, did her OCD severity assessment, talked with her, DIDN'T KNOW! Wasn't told. Don't know why this is hitting me so hard.

Can't tell anyone what is happening but everything feels far away and there's a whirring in my ears. I am writing but not sure, these fingers, this feels strange and.. fighting tears, get me out of here!! I just need support and can't explain to anyone but PC. I want to go home..

Remember to take deep breaths hun and use your grounding skills.

when I get triggered like that I run dates and facts over again, I say "My name is Typo, it's May 11th 2010, etc etc" If that doesn't work sometimes to help ground I'll feel diffrent textures, like run my hands over the floor to feel the tile, or crunch up paper in my hand to feel the paper.

I hope you are feeling better Jexa, please let me know how you are doing

Sending lots of peaceful safe thoughts

I'm so sorry this happened. I agree with Typo about doing grounding exercises. Can you do deep breathing? Or progressive muscle relaxation? I hope you are feeling better soon and work is done soon.
