Lost Girl,

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here!

I've never been in a situation where bombs were dropping around me; my PTSD came from abuse while I was growing up. However, I can only imagine what you went through and understand what you are experiencing right now. You are very wise to seek help so soon after it happened, because your healing will be much quicker than someone like me who waited 35 years or so to get help for it.

I, too, am a teacher and I love my job (I teach middle school). I completely understand about your feeling of "letting the kids down" because I constantly worry if I am doing a good job when it comes to my students.

Hang in there; it will get better. In the mean time, you've got us! Feel free to rant, rave, complain, cry, get angry, etc. We've all been there, done that...and we understand.

Kim
