returning to work after ptsd- help

I have returned to work after i was the victim of an armed robbery almost 2 weeks ago, and although its hard, I feel much better as I am working the day shift as opposed to the night time- the girl who was with me when it happened however wont stop calling me and talking about it, which is something I'd rather move on from! I have told her this but she doesnt seem to get it. This morning she told me she spoke to the police officer and he told her if it were him he wouldnt go back to work there
. Now I'm freaking out that it's not as safe as I thought! He says there are crazy people out there. I cant sit at home going crazy, I want to get on with my life and I don't know what to make of this girl. It seems like she is purposely trying to scare me, I just want to get on with my life and I cant believe a police officer would say this to her. Can anyone relate to how I'm feeling?

Re: returning to work after ptsd- help

everyone deals with trauma differently. but one thing that is the same, ptsd starts out as thinking everyone is trying to do something wrong to u on purpose. carefully read what u wrote. as far as your "friend" she may have a harder time especially if she has had alot of past trauma, ie deaths, divorce, love hurts, betrayal. i think u r different because u probably have always tried to run from anything that bothered u. i'm not being negative i am trying to be honest. i too have ptsd but i was robbed, raped 12 times over 3 days, shot at and taken all over town. all i can say is she probably had alot more happen in her past than u have. a rougher life so to speak. please reply to let me know if i am right. i have done alot of personal research since call rape couldnt help my incident was to complex and any state dr's are not specialist therefore i'm on my own in trying to heal myself. be patient she'll either go off the deep end and run from u thinking u wereinvolved or she will want to try to get away from it all trying to forget. onelkywmn@yahoo.com is my email if i can help with anything
