Trigger warnings, I guess. This thread is just about my personal feelings here, 3 days later.

Talking to people who weren't there is incredibly hard. People check in, but I have not a ton to say back. I don't know what to say.
-
Work is incredibly anxiety-inducing. I don't know why. I managed about 30 minutes of pairing yesterday, that was it.
-
Talking with the media is almost automatic. I can tell the story fine. But everything else is hard.
-
I think it boils down to multi-tasking, which is stressing me out a lot.
-
Sleep has been ok, but I am not getting a lot of it. I'm not having nightmares. And survivor's guilt is fading away.
-
I can't go by the site. I've been avoiding downtown. A lot of people here don't feel safe yet. They don't feel safe downtown.
-
It's hard to commit to my needs. I don't know what they are. I feel most comfortable around the people who were there.
-
I wish we could all gather around with our families and just have a little haven for a month, disconnected from the world.

Thank you for sharing this, Emily. It's helpful. I was on 4th St, too. Nearly all of what you're describing holds true for me.

"Innocent until proven guilty" does not mean "no event happened until it is proven in court to have happened". Get a grip.

I'm sorry you went through that. I'm glad you made it. Get help from a professional ASAP. PTSD can be difficult to treat later on.

Is it possible for you to take some time off or work a reduced schedule to incorporate more self care, extra therapy to aid in your recovery
