What to do after a scary situation?

[Todos Tenemos Máscaras]

I was in a very scary (to me) situation and I really didn't feel safe. My question for you all is what do you after a scary situation when you feel creeped out about what had happened? (And I'm new to this forum, so I don't know if this was the best place to ask this question...)

How scary was it, when did it happen and what are you feeling from it?

It happened about 6 hours ago, and I had to ride about half a mile with my friend who a passenger in the back that neither of us knew, and the guy said he was gonna pet my hair. He was kidding but it was uncomfortable and he said he'd been drinking. What'd happened is my friend got a call that her friend needed her to come and pick up his car up because he was going to jail. My friend needed me because her license was all the way across campus and I had mine with me. She didn't know the creepy guy was there. I feel creeped out still. Like, I realize how dangerous it was and I feel really shook up about it. (And I hope this post makes sense. I am really tired.)

Was there anything specific that was too scary for you to handle? Is it making you feel anxious or did it give you a panic attack? At first I thought it was PTSD but it doesn't sound traumatic. Sounds like something you'll get over eventually and tell to your grandchildren when you're old and senile.

I think I should be able to handle it, I just felt so unsafe in that moment. It scared me. I did feel anxious afterwards. Still feel a but anxious, but I'm tired. I just want to make sure I properly deal with the fear of that.

Were there any specific moments where you felt strong trauma in your mind to the point where you just could not handle it?

No... I feel better now. It just felt so unsafe.

 

[J0SHUA]

Oh ok good.

 

[Todos Tenemos Máscaras]

Yeah. Thank you for talking with me.

Just try and evaluate everything that happened in a big positive perspective, you will provably out laugh it.
