It all came back.

I work with children and there is a sexualabuse case for one of the kids. The child approached me and I let them open up and talk about what happened. Coming from a back round with sexual abuse hearing this poor child broke my heart all over again. Now I feel sick and anxiety and I can't stop thinking about this child and their experience or what had happened to me... I have therapy on Tuesday and I've talked to love ones but my anxiety makes it hard to not think about it. For some reason telling complete strangers with anxiety makes it a little bit better. This last few months haven't been good to me...

I'm not sure of a lot of stuff when it comes to anxiety and depression but I like when people listen and can understand and identify with me. So I'm listening to you.

It's hard so many people don't understand and underestimate how bad it can be. It's always good to have people to talk to.

Hello! Wow that is a lot! Definitely go to therapy, you're on the right track with that! Deep breathing should help and take yourself to another room and try thinking of something else. That must have been so hard for you and that child, I can't understand what you both have been through. I'm really sorry to hear that. What do you think will help? Definitely try something you enjoy doing maybe! I know doing something to distract you is nice, it's gets you away from thinking about the negatives that happened. What do you enjoy doing? Let's focus on trying to relieve these thoughts and bad memories. So sorry! Definitely here to help however I can, you're not alone!

Thank you so much! I decided to open up to my boss for help and ive built a relationship with the girl at work and her mother which has helped! Now to get distracted we work together and all the kids in my class help cause I love being around them. Thank you for your advice
