My therapist has advised me

That I should be open and honest about the feelings I have when I have them so I’m posting here so that maybe other people won’t feel alone or maybe I am the only one but that’s fine. I have been in 2 public shootings in the past few years and being in large open areas causes me a good deal of stress and anxiety. I was just out shopping and heard kids shouting at each other and it immediately put me into panic mode. I don’t know if there’s ever a day I will be over these feelings but I know that each time they happen I just have to acknowledge them and move forward.
