((Chris)),

Wow, that is a very scarey event. And I think I watched a story about the Wal Mart you are talking about where a man hovered over someone's baby and saved it's life.
Yes, a lot of people did die in that Tornado.

Post Tramatic Stress can last for a while, and can become Post Tramatic Stress Disorder. I have PTSD myself and I had a tramatic event happen to me, I didn't understand what PTSD meant. I thought it meant "deep grief" and that it would just go away, but it didn't and I began to retreat and get depressed and it got worse. And I finally found a specialist and have been seeing him for over a year now.

I am glad to hear you are going to see a therapist, that is very important. Feeling nothing is also part of it. Even the thoughts of suicide, I have had that myself. It is important that you understand it and get help, you "can" get better with time.

Let us know how you make out with the therapist ok? And do not ever hurt yourself, you can work through this.
