Post-Traumatic Syndrome – Shock

ManagingDepression_GUTS_REV_MMP-92.jpg

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.
