Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default 911 Dispatch PTSD
Hi I have been struggling since I resigned my job after 4 years as a police 911 operator in 2006. I had more to say but it rambles on. I believe I am still suffering from PTSD.

Welcome to the forum.

I used to talk to another 911 operator on another site, she also had PTSD, and found that her job was a constant trigger.

Hope that you are feeling better.

hugs to you and your family

Take Care

Hi and welcome to the forum. I almost took a job as a 911 disbatch and then realized that it would be to stressful. I didn't know that it can cause PTSD.

I hope your symptoms subside and you feel better soon.

Peace
Tammy

Hi PDSkratt, Welcome,

...... one of many helpful things about this forum is that it's more than ok to ramble on.

It can and does help me sometimes, especially when I'm struggling, to do just this. I too have PTSD and sometimes I find discussing things, or simply getting it out and in front of me, quite beneficial. Messy or otherwise.

I hope you stick around, and find much help for yourself in many, many ways.

Welcome Aboard, PDSkratt.

Hope

My mom is a dispatcher for the sheriff down on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Dispatch is a very stressful job. You are responsible for a lot, but actually have little control about what happens in the field. You also have to deal with injuries or fatalities that happen on your "watch".

Welcome to the forum... I hope you'll find it useful.
