We just need to use one foot at a time and just get through it. One day at a time. The more we keep busy, the more we can just concentrate on just getting it over with. At this time of the year I just want to lock myself in my room and not deal with anything. But, I have to work to make a living and feed my kids. I just tend to do everything super early in the morning so I come in contact with less people. The problem is your job is about working with the public. I dont know how I could deal with the public. What I have done in the past when I was at work is take a bathroom break and lock myself in the bathroom for 15 minutes, it takes me out of the situation and allows me time to calm down if I am having an anxiety attack. Or putting cold water on my face and doing breathing excercises. I dont take medication so it takes a long time to calm down. I also try to use my work as an excape from everything. Everyones situation and PTSD levels are different so what may work with me may not work for the next person. |
