Hi Heal2014,

Bullying (and I hate that it is called that, BTW! I think “harrassment” is a better word) is a traumatic experience. You mind is trying to keep you safe, on a subconscious level, and looking for threats wherever it can find them.

Focusing on meeting your basic needs and calming your body and mind can help you to look more deeply at your fears, so that you can help your mind feel safe in a new way. Calm down first, then start asking why you feel so afraid. How are you afraid of being judged?

And be kind to yourself. Healing takes time.
