[l] I 26M was invited to a high school reunion event where my bully who assaulted me would be and I'm triggered
So basically I got invited to a high school reunion with some old friends, the catch is my old high school bully is a mutual and was invited as well. This person sucker punched me, broke my nose, knocked me out cold and took a video and sent it around. I never properly healed or processed that whole thing it was very traumatic and so I'm really triggered lately. I just need some kindness and understanding, I have nobody to confide in about this and it's eating me up. What happened to me was horrible and unfair, and I am not weak because of it.
I won't be attending obviously and I told one of our mutuals why and they were understanding, I'm just really struggling because the invitation brought back to that dark place and lately I've been super anxious and back and forth between fight or flight amongst other bad feelings...I don't really have anyone to talk to about this.
