It is very likely that you've got PTSD in this profession... Get nervous when the classroom door opens? That's PTSD. Worried about picking up the phone to parents? That's PTSD. We care so much for students' emotional wellbeing so let's start looking out for ourselves.
@WhistleblowingT This is anxiety related to work PTSD not being worried or nervous. It's an emotional response to a set of specific events where the body went through a traumatic event Common PTSD symptoms nightmares, flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability & guilt
@WhistleblowingT Teacher for 20 + years. Your experience is shared by a tiny minority. Or else just clickbait.
@WhistleblowingT Has someone actually told you this is PTSD? Or is this a conclusion you've come to? This is not PTSD this I'd anxiety two entirely different things. If you are putting this out there as PTSD that's concerning and you need to stop and educate yourself on PTSD.
@WhistleblowingT I'm not sure this counts as PTSD...
@WhistleblowingT No it’s not. It’s work-based anxiety and stress. This does a disservice to people who have PTSD.
@WhistleblowingT Sir, As someone with PTSD after nearly being killed in an accident at work (school)...... X/Twitter isn't the place for this.
@WhistleblowingT Codswallop. There’s a world of difference between work related anxiety and PTSD brought on by exposure to warfare or extremely traumatic events. Pull up your Bridget Jones and cope, or find a different job.
@WhistleblowingT This is not PTSD, Google causes of PTSD. You’re describing severe anxiety.
