So yesterday I had a rough time with it being Halloween.  I didn't get to see my kids or have any thing to do with trick or treating at it was bugging me bad.  Then work was rough the girl I work with I don't get along with very well.  Then when left work last night there was a bad accident and I say body parts on the ground which freaked me out.  I'm so stressed out about alot if things that I'm having pain in my neck and shoulder numness in my left arm.  I m trying to relax just so tired of strugaling. Thanks for always listening and being here your guy are amazing.

Since the incident is brand new in your mind its going to take a while to process it, especially if it was someone close to you (a favorite co worker for example) or if youre super sensitive to this kinda thing seeing body parts. The best I can tell you as Im still sorting my incident out too is just let your brain do it. If you fight it, it will get worse, atleast for me it did. Talk to us, talk to a therapist. If it makes you feel better I worked all nite but once kids saw me and my patrol car I got a lot of high-5's and honestly you cannot beat that.

Congratulations on surviving the ordeal, Toughass. Missing your kids is as heart-wrenching as it gets in Arf World. They grow up wa-a-a-ay too fast.

Steadying support until you get to your therapist on Monday. Hope you feel safe to vent freely here in the interim.
