Triggered

im still in school and im taking a practical law class. and today we talked about rape. it triggered me horribley. now i cant get my mind off it. im sick of having to deal with this. its painted on my memory. i feel sick and unreal. i want to throw up. i feel alone and scared. i need to cry....but that would make them win. .......i swear im going crazy
whats the point anymore

(((safe hug))) The point? Because that's what life is all about... it's about struggles and learning and doing the best we can regardless of what is "thrown" at us.

Practical law... that sounds way kewl.

I'm sorry it triggered you. Was there anything from the class that helped you realize it wasn't your fault etc? Or were you too triggered to hear anything?

You're not going crazy--just having a difficult time. Sometimes, when I get triggered it helps to sit down and write about it. I often write a letter to somebody (that I never give to) and try to explain things. It helps me organize my thoughts and feelings.
