I am a 13 year old girl, and for the first time I witnessed someone having a seizure at school. It wasn't a special needs student either, but a regular student I've seen around before. My hands were shaking, I cried during class, my mind can't stop replaying his body uncontrollably shaking, and I was in a daze the rest of the school day.
I still can't stop thinking about it, and after snapping back into reality, I noticed - I've been staring at the floor, crying and replaying it through my head for 30 minutes. It's scary, I don't know how to tell my parents about it, and even if I'm humming to a song, my mind shows a flashback of the boy on the floor. Is this what people call mental shock? It hasn't even been 7 hours since it occurred, but will it ever stop? Will I be able to go back to normal? Please, help.
Am I in shock from this?

Well it probably is a good thing to talk to your parents about they might be able to share some knowledge with you and answer questions you might have there also could have been someone else who saw it first like you did you might ask to talk to a school counselor it will help you deal with things concerning this.
Sometimes it's because you just can't mentally accept it which causes the scene to re-play in your mind. Talking to someone, anyone really, can help a lot. Sometimes writing down what you saw or what you think of it is another great way to calm yourself down. There really isn't anyway to stop yourself from being shocked by this, and I assure you, gradually, it will just become a dull memory. You might never forget it, but you won't recall it every second of your life. Again, just try to accept what you saw, it might help.
