Stop playing Modern Warfare 2 if you can't handle it.
Sanity is overrated anyways.
Write a memoir.
Don't worry, it'll all be over soon. As in you'll eventually become desensitized. And hobbies help, have you tried taking classes in poetry? (Not supposed to sound prickish)
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;22188975]Sanity is overrated anyways.[/QUOTE] You've obviously never felt any sort of insanity.
Coming to this forum will only worsen your depression.

You could all pop pills.
What's the deal with all these retarded threads lately?
Just read your post, are you sure you don't wanna masturbate? This guy in the other thread offers peruvian ultrasex for only $80.
It's a very difficult job. I'm doing the same career here in a few months and my mentor was a flight medic in the Iraq war. No amount of dying soldiers screaming for their mothers equates to seeing dead children. The thing that haunts him the most was seeing a Greyhound run over a small boy's head. The best thing you can do is find somebody you feel comfortable with and talk with them.
Pills here, you'd better grab everything you can.
[QUOTE=Joshyy;22190332]What's the deal with all these retarded threads lately?[/QUOTE] This guy is a paramedic. This guy is in a huge ammount of depression, it's one of the most depressing jobs in the world. He talks about his depression and you come here and call it retarded. You're a dick.
Sounds like you definitely need to get your dick wet more often, OP
Ummm....if you can't handle the emotional stress, you shouldn't be a paramedic.

I'm just glad they don't smoke pot and make threads on Facepunch...
I've seen some pretty fucked up crap on the internet, but nothing on rotten.com can compare to seeing things in real life, for example when i had to assist surgery on a cat. it died, after being my loyal pet for over 11 years. and that's clean surgery. i'd hat to think what the OP has to go through, i'm sure that the OP has saved more people and made more people happy than any of you snickering 12 year olds sitting at your computers (joshyy i'm looking at you). pets always cheer me up, and going out with friends. OP should get a cat or a dog, if he already has one, give it a hug.
there's a reason video games exist, you know [editline]11:50AM[/editline] world of warcraft comes to mind if you want escapism
Go kill Xel'lotath.

SANITY is for the weak!

Reminds me of Call of Cthulhu :v:
Here's another suggestion for you OP, try writing a blog about all the interesting calls you go on or make a thread about them here so you have some outlet for what you are feeling. For those of you who are saying that he should take another job because he is feeling emotional stress, If you can watch a kid die right in front of you and feel nothing there is something seriously wrong with you no matter what your career is. I plan to get my paramedic cert as soon as I finish college. I remember one call I was on for a morphine OD. When we arrived on scene this woman was unconscious in bed and wasn't breathing. We ventilated her until the paramedics go there and they started an I.V and gave her narcan. Within 30 seconds of them giving her that drug she stated breathing on her own, woke up, pulled the nasal airway we put in her out and started yelling at us for waking her up because she could see her dead brother. I had never see someone go from near death to pissed off in such a short amount of time before that.
Paramedic blog? I like the idea, I'd read it! [editline]02:34PM[/editline] And I usually never read blogs!
Stop smoking weed, deal with it like a man.
Quit your job. You may love helping people, but it requires incredible mental stamina.
