Info

Do make time to review the experience within yourself, but try to avoid isolating yourself. Do take the time to be with your family and friends. Do try and tell your family, close friends, shipmates, colleagues and managers how you feel. Do try to keep to your routines as much as possible. Do drive with greater care, your concentration may be impaired. Do be more careful - accidents are more likely to happen at this time. When to look for additional help ... If you feel you are not able to handle intense feelings, or physical reactions continue. If you feel numb and your feelings are detached. If you have to keep highly active in order to cope. If you continue to have nightmares, or are sleeping badly. If you have no one, or a group with whom to share your feelings, and you feel the need to do so. If your relationships seem to be suffering badly, or sexual problems develop. If you are having accidents, or your work performance is suffering. If you are smoking or drinking to excess since the event. Page 8
If you are suffering from depression or exhaustion. If you cannot control your memories of the event and they are affecting your sense of personal well being. Remember you are basically the same person that you were before the event and that talking about the event and your feelings can help. Remember help is available. Page 9 Page 9
