PTSD Recap: Reactions and triggers can vary widely from person to person. Multiple traumas can affect the same person in very different ways. Today, PTSD for me was simple and common. Sitting at my desk with the light off, crying quietly.
Then, retreating to the office wellness room and crying less quietly for 20 minutes. Took 10 minutes to try and get myself together and then walking quickly to the restroom to wash my face.
Hurried to my office to get my bag and leave quickly. Finally, hoped that the coworker I rode down in the elevator with couldn’t see that my eyes were red and puffy. Closed my eyes and rode the train.
In the end, this was a minor, stupid, predictable panic attack. #metoo
