Hi there   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2968 of 3160 |
My name is Helen and I'm an 18 year veteran police officer in Texas. I
developed ptsd over a decade ago after identifying victims from a
natural disaster and have fought this for 11 years. I am now in the
worst ptsd attack that I have had and just can't fight anymore. My mind
and body are screaming for me to take a rest and make a career change
once I get back on my feet. This will be the second time to work with
workman's comp. The first time was bad enough to make me just suck it
up and deal with the symptoms on my own. My department encouraged me to
file again and so far they have been more cooperative but I need all
the help I can get. Thank God I found this sight! The therapist I'm
seeing is stating that I will never be fit for duty again and will
never be able to work any job that is stressful because alot of damage
has been done to my body. Auto-immune problems....etc

If you guys could give me the post for websites it would be much
appreciated.

I am very glad for you Helen. I am trying to do my own battle, and it goes back 23 or 24 years. Of course the car accident and coma kind of messed a few things...

When ever I was reckless I was the only one involved, for the thought of hurting someone else just didn't sound good, it would have torn me apart. I have never...
