Answers:

See a therapist. If they feel your fears put you, or your comrades in extra danger, you may get reassigned. Don't be afraid to speak up, You aren't going to do anyone any good by getting hurt or allowing another to because your mind is not where it should be. You have experienced a trauma and are trying to deal with it. Your fear is real, not imagined.
