Thank you for sharing this. I’m very touched by their stories & views. I can’t imagine the PTSD. I also worry a great deal about the #Parkland students & PTSD. Advocating for gun control may help some w coping & grief. People viciously attacking them are awful & doing more harm.

I also wonder what effect mass shooter drills will have on kids who never see a shooting. Perhaps some may be unscathed, but it will have lasting impact on others. Will some eventually be fearful to the point that they feel they must protect themselves with guns?

Of course, it's #PTSD, no different than #metoo or than military, just the scale and effect may be different. You know it's there when the issue, subject, person comes up & here comes that familiar feeling spreading thru your body.....

Having suffered trauma and resulting PTSD, or now PTSS as it's currently known, and then having worked with patients who have PTSS as a Psych R.N., I know the complexities of this disorder well. This never resolves, it's managed. It never goes away, but can get better.
