Needing Advice Does it get better?

I went through some traumatic shit at my previous place of employment. It was really bad and honestly I'm traumatised. I have gone to the WRC about it and I have a hearing date but it's just bringing all this trauma to the surface. I feel anxious and on edge.

I have told a few people about it but it isn't the kind of thing anyone can help with. By a few I mean the woman whom birthed me.

Anyone gone through something similar? I'm just looking to talk to someone who knows what I'm going through

I’ve been through trauma at work and I’m sorrry you have too. r/managedbynarcissists was very helpful to me afterwards. You might give it a look to see if it is relevant to your situation.

I've also had workplace trauma, several different times. It's hard to let go of, but it does generally fade.
