Post-Traumatic Syndrome – Shock
My husband could have died, but was saved by coronary bypass surgery seven weeks ago. Like a delayed earthquake, my body is just feeling the post-shock trauma. Since the danger has passed I feel out of sync with reality. My mood is heading downwards. My thoughts are mostly blank, but when they surface, what they contain is troubling. I am changing my medication around, but it does not seem to be helping. I guess it’s time to take out my Depression/Anxiety instruction book, which lists the things I should do when I get this way. However, there is tremendous resistance to do this. The further I sink, the harder it is to do things to help myself.
