Hello ALL:

My name is Jim, and I have been in Public Safety for just over 20 years. I
started out young, as I am now only 38. I have done FD, EMS as a Volunteer/Part
Time, and have been a full time dispatcher for the last 20 years. It was not
until I became my departments Training Coordinator, and doing research on a
class on stress, that I seen that I had all the classic symptoms for PTSD. I
have yet to be officially told I have PTSD, but my family Dr, who gave me some
self tests thinks I have PTSD. Over the next few weeks I will be working with my
insurance company to find the right person for me to start seeing.


I look forward to reading up on prior post in this group.


Thanks for letting me join.
