I can't imagine the difficult environment you work in, but as someone who is studying to become a police officer, I thank you with all my heart for all you do and want you to know it doesn't go unnotice

As for the issues you are going through now, you received some good advice already. Could be PTSD, which wouldn't be uncommon. Just know that there is only so much you can do, and try, instead of thinking about those you can't save, about those you can and what a difference you make in their lives. I salute you my friend, take care.
well my friend that just reduced me to tears! in my 4 years of firefighting I have only been thanked 4 times and cursed most of the time....its a tough job but I wouldn't change it for the world..the things ive seen and done...it all formed me into the man I am right now....and good luck on your journey on become a police officer! their a bunch of good guys nd gals I work with them all the time
