[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] Quite a shock to read about Mike Smith. I'll miss his personality. He certainly was one of the characters around here. Smitty, since retiring from the business world I've been working as a substitute teacher--frequently in Special Ed classrooms--and many of the students I work with have been diagnosed with PTSD. I won't try to offer any amateur psychology, but I think it's good that you are able to recognize that you are having trouble processing all that you've seen in life and that you are seeking help. I really think we should start referring to PTSD as PTSC (replace "Disorder" with "Condition") because there's no way that combat veterans, first responders and trauma victims can process all the experiences they face without some trauma. I was working this morning with a particularly troublesome 13 year old girl and after class one of the Para-teachers told me that 1 year ago the student had witnessed her mother murdering her father. I don't think any 13 year old brain is equipped to process an event like that in a "normal" manner. Older, more mature brains also aren't built to "normally" process all the terrible events that they may witness. Stay in touch with us Smitty. Even if you haven't been on a train, let us know how you're doing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
