6 months when I was in class my teacher called me up to talk to me. She asked me if something was going on at home and if I needed to talk to someone she was there. It triggered a memory of when the counselor at my old school pulled me out of class to ask the same things.
That memory happened to be from the day I was about to tell the counselor about my abusive father(I'm not with him now) but I stopped myself.

Of course I told my teacher nothing was wrong and went back to my seat. It took less then a minute for me to get this horrible feeling. My lip started quivering and I was holding back tears, I couldn't focus on any but thankfully there was only a few minutes left of class. But by time i got to my next class I burst out in tears and was hyperventilating and my friend had to ask if I could leave class because I could barely talk. Then I spent half and hour in the bathroom trying to calm myself down.

I've talked to my friend about it in real life and she said I have ptsd but I don't think thats true.

I know I've posted this before but I need more answers so please help me.

    Sounds like a panic attack to me. The fact of what happen, what you were put through was difficult and hard to go through. And that question got asked so it made you think back on the emotional situation. Maybe between that and someone showing they care and are their for you? Anyway lots of emotions happening during that question. Especially if it’s something you’re trying to push away and move past then it’s brought up again and all the emotions pushed in then come out. And maybe being asked it again did bring you back to feeling that over again. (I hope that made sense) Either way how you reacted after a past like that is understandable.

    I can see some ptsd symptoms happening but ptsd is a anxiety disorder so can be more harder to say. I do have ptsd and see some things here I can kinda relate to but would need more I feel to be able to really see.

    But I can try and describe what it’s like for me if it helps you have a better understanding about it if you actually wanna know. I’d end up writing a whole book here if I added in what its like.

    Idk if I’ve answered this before if you say you've posted this before so I’m sorry if I’m being a broken record here and repeating myself. My memory is seriously shit.
