PTSD
All About Trauma: What It Is, Short-and Long-Term Effects, How to Cope With It, and When to Get Help
Fourth of July Caturday
This year was extremely frightening and traumatizing for my cats. They were terrified in a way I have never seen before and I pray I never see it again. I am outraged by the crap my neighbors pulled. The streets were full of smoke, cars couldn’t get through, and it was a major problem waiting to happen if, G-d forbid, an ambulance or fire truck needed to get through. Visibility was extremely poor. Whatever people are using that sounds like an explosion going off was awful for my own trauma history. I’m actually relieved I have a phone appointment with my doctor next week. This was BAD and continues to be worse with every passing moment.

Last year, right around this time, my doctor told me about this. He said it wouldn’t be ready for the next ten years.
