[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 267080, member: 1722"] Ahaheimfan- The priest for my church is one of the local police chaplains and I'm friends with several members of our volunteer fire department and their emt's. I am not a first responder but have had the honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with many over the years. The thing is, becoming desensitized or seeing the worst case scenario can be a serious signs of stress. You may need a debriefing or other counselling to help you get back to a more balanced view on life. I'm not saying that you may need this out of weakness, because first responders are a tough bunch of people, but you are people. Sometimes, people get stuck and need to talk to someone who has been there done that. Talk to your fire chief or resource person. The world isn't all bad, nor is it all hunky-dory. It's time for you to be able to live your life without carrying the stress of your service into every situation. [/QUOTE]
