hey jods, no problems there. I am already onto my third Psychologist. My first was a free one offered thru my work and she was great but I was onyl allowed 6 sessions with her, second one was useless - well, to me anyway. I have had one session with my new lady and the next in 3 days (bot do I need that one NOW).

Through a combination of my current psychologist, our GP (who has also been somewhat a marriage counsellor for us these days) and my hubby's Psychologist (a PTSD specialist) it has been determined that I probably have Adjustment Disorder and Vicarious Trauma (also known as secondary trauma and carer's trauma). The latter is due to issues I have driving in traffic and in situations that remind me of hubby's trauma (not that I was there but unfortunaltely I have a picture of what happened that runs thru my head - I was at the scene in the aftermath... shaking now) and I also get a startled response every now and then, much worse now that I am home alone, and also nightmares.

So yes, I am taking all the help I can get.

I also have a wonderful netwoek of family and friends, including at work that support me. Gee, I sure would have got the sack by now if work weren't so understanding.

I am so very sorry that your husband's accident was just a day befoe your first wedding anniversary. And I thought our sucked because he worked most of the day and then we argued in our front yard in front of neighbours and I ran inside crying.
