It's not minor, sweetie, and it's 100% normal to be traumatized after being attacked. Your entire rational brain can know you're in no more danger today than you were in before you were assaulted, but your hindbrain is going to be hypervigilant for a while. It's totally normal. Also, you may have panic attacks, and the thing the shrink told me that helped most was, "Panic attacks feel like you're dying, but they've never killed anyone. They feel terrible, but they won't kill you."
Love you a lot. Hope this heals quickly, and I'm not talking about your eye.
