A few days ago at my school someone brought a weapon and got arrested, nobody was hurt (physically) but it really shook me up. I KNEW the person who brought it and he didn’t like me at all. I keep having intrusive visions of him killing me, and I’m scared to go back to school. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Like how to not be so stressed over it
omg this sounds so terrifying! im so so sorry that this happened and its understandable that you feel scared. i've never been in a similar situation so i can't offer much advice. just wanted you to know that i see your pain. stay safe 🙏🏽 I hope your school enforces extra security measures to prevent this from happening again. students should be able to attend school and feel safe while learning.
@moon0270 I’m sure they will put in some more security measures lol, we’re an alternative school so most kids have something going on (most commonly disabled or have a lot of trauma). Thank you for the support :)
Talking to your parents about how much it bothers you can help. They found have a therapist or school counselor help you further with those visions because this is 100% a traumatic event that you and others went through that day.
I’m so sorry you experienced this. Be gentle with yourself and know that it’s okay to be afraid, that is an intense experience. I’m glad you probably have your parents, maybe school, and a therapist here to talk to about how you’re feeling and what is bothering you.
