Trauma response
Notifications OFF
I'm so thankful for starting anxiety medication as I get really bad trauma responses sometimes from sounds that can mimic knocking or just plain knocking noises, idk if anyone else has experienced this?
But I've just experienced it now after being on my meds and usually my heart pounds and I'm in fight or flight mode but I panicked for second then realised I'm not physically panicking if that makes sense?
Anyone else struggle with it?

Yup. We had police at work a little while back for reasons I cant discuss (no one associated to where I work). And OMG the panic attack i had walking out to 7 police officers that i knew where coming but didnt know when theyd arrive. It was really interesting because ive seen lots of police officers since the knock because of local arson attacks but where it was litrally outside our office it really made me jump.
Certain songs get me, certain places get me. I struggle to be in the house alone because the memory comes back. I have past trauma I never dealt with prior to the knock that are also saying hello again. I refuse medication as im breastfeeding at the moment. I just use every single coping mechanisms I have

I'm the same. I came out of our bathroom to find 5 officers in our tiny hallway. I can't be in the bathroom with the door closed at the moment because of the trauma. Also the same with loud knocking noises. I'm hoping therapy can help me and moving out of the flat we shared. Sending love x
