[QUOTE=:smug:;22194523]Quit your job. You may love helping people, but it requires incredible mental stamina.[/QUOTE] Like I said before, it is normal to feel bad after seeing the shit you saw. No amount of mental stamina makes you completely immune to seeing someone die right in front of you. If every paramedic who ever felt stressed from there work quit you would probably be riding to the hospital in the back of a fire truck. Like I said before try talking about the stuff that bothers you with someone you trust.

You people who say sanity is overrated don't know what you're talking about. :mad:
dude, you rock.
I want to be a police officer when I become the age, I'm 15 now. And I've always wondered how I'd handle seeing people shot, stabbed, etc. Especially responding to child abuse cases. God, I couldn't imagine that.
OP has seen the termination and redemption of human life, he is more man than most of this thread

My father was a doctor. Saw men with their guts hanging out, begging for thier mothers. He kept his sanity through playing guitar. More or less.

I insist... OP, you should get laid more often

Okay. Reporting in: I'm feeling a ton better. Maybe I just need to get all this out? I've saved a few lives today, made me feel better. Nobody died. Had quite a few boring calls as well. A downer, but oh well.

He's not unstable or anything but he kind of zones out sometimes, probably has a few personal demons.
Take a vacation, talk to a therapist. Starting a blog seems like a good idea, too. I'd read it.
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;22184799]Play so much guitar that you become a rock star instead. On a serious note, I really feel for you and I hope you find a way to deal with it.[/QUOTE] i get it serious note like playing the guitar hehe funny pun.. anyways on a serious note: go shove a rusty needle down your uretha because that sounds fun and not traumatic
Go buy a pet.
Get a red motorcycle and whenever you see someone on a motorcycle you don't know ride up next to them and hit them in the arms with a lead pipe.
Join the fucking club buddy
Why don't you go out and tell a real person how you feel instead of this forum
[QUOTE=theguydude;22195434]You people who say sanity is overrated don't know what you're talking about. :mad:[/QUOTE] The Insane do not believe they are such, which is why the statement is ironic. The insane do not know they are insane, otherwise they are sane, so even if you are insane, you probably won't know it, otherwise you would be sane.
GTFO of that job.
Fuck a corpse I heard that helps. Also suck it up

It might take some time, though.
[QUOTE=Fippe;22208291]You can notice if you are insane yourself. It might take some time, though.[/QUOTE] Not the full extent of it. You'd start going "Man, am I insane?" but you probably wouldn't actually realize it.
Realize what people truly are. We don't live forever. There's little difference in dying today or twenty years from now. You go when you're supposed to go. There's nothing you can do to change that and if you weren't doing it, someone else would have to be so if you can find it within yourself to be strong, do it for yourself as well as every other human being on this planet.
