In reply to the discussion: I got an email today from a student, saying she has to drop my course [View all]lunatica

Do our best to overcome our feeling of shame and fear and try not to think about it because it is horrible to remember how you felt.
Then something like this happens and it all comes back with a vengeance. We feel the shame, the psychological and psychic pain wash over us and we are helpless and in panicked terror and cant control it.
If you get a chance tell these people that they arent alone and that if they seek out people or groups they can talk to they will heal. You really cannot heal until you deal directly with it and on purpose and the best way to do that is talk about it in a safe environment and to listen to others stories.
