I am wondering if other people worked in jobs where they had to deal with people who had PTSD and psychological illnesses and were supposed to help those people or interact with them in any way?
I worked in a job where I was trained in psychological illnesses and how to deal with people that I came in contact with who portrayed those characteristics. I was supposed to become familiar with all areas of these illnesses. As you can imagine, I empathized with these people beyond that of anyone else I worked with, and I found myself researching PTSD quite often.
After I left the job, pandoras box opened and my PTSD was intense to say the least. I was house bound and afraid of everyone. I knew what I researched and knew what I was supposed to do, yet for me, I couldn't do anything I learned. I trusted noone, and to this day its the same. I have all this knowledge of PTSD and so many psychological illnesses yet I can't help myself.
I can't relate to the therapists I see. They tell me things I already know. It's like charlie Brown's teacher on the cartoons...wawawawawa. It just goes on and I don't hear them.
Does anyone have this type of experience or can relate in any way?
