"Moving on"? Warning: Graphic Description

Trauma Support / by TheRandomEMT

20 minutes ago

...See more For the past three months, I've been feeling really numb after an extremely horrible and graphic trauma code. I've been having flashbacks almost everyday and nightmares every single night. Since I left the scene that day, its been stuck with me. "We could always leave the scene but the scene never leaves us" is what we always say and there doesn't exist a more accurate description. Once I was back from this call, covered in blood and ashes, I didn't want to talk about, look at myself nor acknowledge the fact that it happened. I didn't want to believe what I saw, I didn't want to remember what I heard, the screams, the sirens, the blood, limbs and organs which are far away from the body...this seemed impossible to me, impossible to forget, impossible to overcome, impossible that Id be the same person again, impossible to feel happy, impossible and impossible...that's all what I had in mind. I talked to many people about that, here and in real life, people with similar experiences and I'm really thankful that they exist and I got to talk to them, no matter how much I thank them I wont be able to thank them enough. To skip past most details, I woke up today morning to think about it again as I do almost every single day. I started thinking again of what do I exactly mean by wanting to "move on". Is it that I wanted to forget everything about? Well that is impossible! I realised that this was an experience and that I wouldn't like to forget an experience no matter how horrible it was. I realised that I never acknowledged that this is the type of experience I needed to prepare myself for what's still to be coming. Now I feel so much better about it, especially the fact that I did my best to try and save all the victims. Its true that I didn't "succeed" in reviving them but there was nothing more to be done. I'm now certain I gave all what I could, and I got to experience something unique...in a bad way but I know I cant let this negatively affect anymore. That's life, not everything goes as we want it to, we cant save everyone and we cant do the impossible because after all I'm still a human. So in conclusion, I now feel much better about it and yes I'm still numb but in a good way.

Am I even worth anyone ever caring for me?

...See more It's well known that physical activity can be a great help for improving our mood. This is particularly relevant for depression. Take a look at this very brief article by Harvard Medical School: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/exercise-is-an-all-natural-treatment-to-fight-depression [https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/exercise-is-an-all-natural-treatment-to-fight-depression] [https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/exercise-is-an-all-natural-treatment-to-fight-depression] ) And this one by the Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/depression-and-exercise/art-20046495 [https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/depression-and-exercise/art-20046495] We even have a Forum in 7 Cups that promotes "Exercise and Activity": https://www.7cups.com/forum/HealthyLiving_141/ExerciseandActivity_825/ [https://www.7cups.com/forum/HealthyLiving_141/ExerciseandActivity_825/] So I have included a few questions on physical activity in this week's check-in: ------------------------- * What are your favorite physical activities? (mine is going for long walks) * How much time do you usually spend on weekends and weekdays doing physical activities? (things like cleaning the house and walking the dog count too.) * How much time would you like to spend doing some kind of regular exercise or physical activity? (daily or weekly) * What prevents you from doing all the physical activity that you wish? * How have you been feeling these days? All questions are optional. You can add any comments you wish, as they come to your mind. I look forward to your answers! ------------------------- As a final note, if you find it interesting to join the Depression Support team, learn more about opportunities, requirements, and how to join, by clicking HERE [https://www.7cups.com/forum/DepressionSupport_52/DepressionSupportLeadershipTeam_404/joiningthedepressionsupportsubcommunityleadershipteam_249997/]. ------------------------- I wish you all the best! ------------------------- Tagging check-in subscribers: [phantom-tagged check-in taglist] If you wish to be added (or removed) to the check-in taglist, press HERE [https://www.7cups.com/forum/DepressionSupportCommunity_52/DepressionSupportLeadershipTeam_404/NEWautomateddepressionsupporttaglist_274831/]
