This situation is one of trauma. A trauma is when something happens that disrupts or threatens your life in a way that is not in your control.

This means that you will not be able to cope with this situation as you would to ordinary events.

You might begin to feel emotions that are confusing; think about ideas that are disturbing; behave in unexpected and uncontrolled ways – and even have physical reactions such struggling with sleep or eating.

If you find yourself in this situation, you will need to get help.
