I experienced mild workplace physical aggression and am struggling
Earlier this week, I was physically "battered" while on the job. I'm physically fine and it wasn't overly violent, but it involved someone grabbing my limb and holding it forcefully while berating me verbally.
It was incredibly triggering (I hate how that word has evolved into overuse, but its true meaning fits here), particularly as I experienced domestic violence years ago.
I have to deal with the whole workplace aspect, and I guess I just need support that I'm not overreacting by being upset still over this incident.
I feel like while people, both in and out of my workplace, have been overall supportive to me in person, I wonder if they're just giving me lip service and secretly think I'm being ridiculous.
I keep blaming myself for not reacting "better" (why didn't I verbally demand they unhand me?) and telling myself I'm being silly, but I'm really truly disturbed and upset about it.
