Panic Attacks, being an EMT

Working in the ER could also help you become more used to EMS in a more controlled environment. That could lead to you being more comfortable in the field later on.
 
Thanks to all who gave positive input, the last few pages really helped. Some of the emt-p's that chimed in were spot on, I couldn't quote all of the good replies in the thread, but I appreciate you taking the time to give me advice!
 
LOL... this thread is funny.......

*AS IF* everyone working in EMS is completely 100% emotionally and mentally healthy... ahahahahahahahhahaha

Alcoholic, PTSD, burnout, complacency, apethy, high strung coffee swilling chain smoking medics. Like none of you have any of them working in your service ;)
 
On a side note, when I first got into EMS I was stressed about not being able to handle certain things. I was also very nervous about seeing certain things, EMS, like anything in life, gets easier and more comfortable the longer you do it.

After a ped code, the next few shifts is ANYONE mentally 100%? does NO ONE's heart sink when they hear the tones go off, thinking ":censored::censored::censored::censored:, please don't be serious, please don't be serious"

to support previous posters, get off the benzo's, learn coping mechanisms, seek a cognitive behavior therapist ( I hear they are the best for anxiety ) and figure this out. Overcome man, you can do it.

Peace
