Treatments for shock (Could be TMI for some)

[Snacks]

Oh, good heavens. That's terrible.
I agree, a trip to the drs. Even if it is just to talk about what happened and get an opinion. I don't know what physical things the dr would do, but best to see one anyway.
Are the police talking about it with him? They may have counseling services they could refer him to...

Thanks guys..

We have an appointment for DS's injections this week, so I will try and get him to say something then..

He is at work, and probably better there, with other things to keep him occupied, then come home for cuddles, LOL.

Snacks, think he would prefer to talk to our own doctor. There wasn't anything sus, The guy didn't look and stepped onto the road at the wrong time.

I really feel for that man's family and the truck driver and his family..

Oh dear, how awful

If you can get to a health food shop today, pick up some Rescue Remedy - it will help with the shock for SURE xoxoxo

If he wants to talk to someone earlier, before you can get to the doctors, you could try Lifeline 131114. they also have a website lifeline.org.au

take care

when I was in year 9 on th eway to school my mum sister and I witnessed a man walk straight into traffic and get hit by a truck he was in front of us so we had to pass the body to pull over

to this day I can still see it, I spoke to the councellor at school and was encouraged to talk about my feelings which I presume would be much the same for a adult

I hope you DH feels better soon, talking seriously is the best remedy dont lock it away

i have been on the other side of that before, my mother was hit by a car doing 100 on the free way crossing a pedestrian crossing, She was flown to hospital i remember all of this in great detail even tho i did not see here on the floor there it was still a shock and big impact. My little brother then 20ish found her on the road just moments after the hit as he heard the sounds and went running from home.

as for what drs will say talk to a specialist and if you show signs of withdrawal or depression go on anti depressants. I am happy to talk to you via pm if you want to ask me anything.

I really doubt anti depressants would be a necessary thing after one such incident. Anti's are best for a chemical imbalance and throwing pills around isn't always the answer
