Help, I Am Not Myself After A Fire!

Try not to be nervous, Ally. Think of your situation this way: imagine you had pre-diabetic symptoms. You go and see a diabetic specialist, who informs you on ways to manage your diet and lifestyle so as to prevent you from becoming diabetic. The result is that you never develop diabetes, rather than waiting and ending up in the hospital with your sugars at 450 and a slew of accompanying problems.

This is preventative care at its very finest, before something becomes chronic. ;) Keep us updated. It's not often we get to help someone this early in the game, before PTSD is any sort of certainty. I'm totally rooting for you and have full confidence you can recover. Just remember that having support over the next few months and surrounding yourself with compassionate, accepting people is key to your health.

Hello, I have similar symptoms, as a result of living through 2 house fires. I will spare you the details, but will tell you about my recovery. I started seeing a therapist several months ago, and it has been wonderful for me. It is so helpful to talk to someone who can explain to you what is going on inside your brain. I still have overwhelming symptoms sometimes, but I understand them and I allow them without judging myself. I hope you find the help you are looking for and know that you are not alone.
