Thank you for sharing your story and feel blessed that you are here to tell it.
I don’t have family support, my father is gone, my only child is doing his internship with a Master’s and Doctorate degree working 60 hours a week and can’t burden him and my friends wouldn’t get this at all. Heck, most health professionals don’t.
Since the helicopter incident I’m having nightmares, crying, my stomach is in knots and feeling like I’m crazy. I guess I never dealt with this before and my brain is telling me I have to now.
I feel better knowing you’re all there and have similar stories. Thank you so much!!
