Dealing with the aftermath of an armed confrontation

[LittleBitRattled]

I was mugged at gunpoint. This was the first time I've ever had a gun pointed at me and it was terrifying, but I came away physically unscathed. But now I don't know what to do or what to expect in trying to get my confidence back. I've followed Jocko for a while and have always respected his advice and insight in dealing with challenges and adversity. I guess I'm posting here hoping he might see it to be able to give some insight into how to recover and hopefully become stronger from this experience. The only conscious action I've taken, aside from reporting it to the police and trying to help the investigation, is returning to where it happened to try and go about business as usual. I'm only two days removed from this, so I don't know if my current stress/anxiety level is normal. Haven't been out alone at night again yet. Haven't been out at night again period. But I can't say I'm looking forward to the prospect of a night out with friends.

If Jocko doesn't see it, hopefully some people here acquainted with his approach to life/challenges and/or my experience will. I'm just a student. I've never dealt with anything this intense before. Trying not to let it overwhelm me, but I'm having trouble getting back into my routine of studying and working out (I've been a big late night lifter at a local 24 hour gym, and I'm considering changing that habit). I'm just looking for a way to get through this as best as possible.

Best regards.

Bit Rattled,
The first thing is that you should be stressed. That is a traumatic event. Jordan Peterson would encourage you to write about it, it will help you establish how it happened and how it will change your future.
Second thing, you had the right outcome. No on got hurt. Jocko and Tim Kennedy would agree that you did the right thing. I know that it feels like the attacker won. But it was an unequal altercation, and you got out with minimal losses and a prep better for next time.
Third thing, what should you change. Start with awareness. When you are exposed, you need to be looking around. No headphones, no screens. Identify your path. Identify obstacles, risks, problems, refuges, alternatives. You probably do this to some level already, but you will just need to adjust it for this new factor. Instead of which route keeps my sneakers dry, take the route that has fewer risks.
Being a student, simple but not easy change would be to get up early and get the workout done at 6 AM. I know it is so much easier to do it once your day is done and when there is no crowd. This is a next level decision.

These kind of thoughts are a great place to start try this video with Tim Larkin. He has a good understanding of the nature of these types of altercations.
