You obviously have no experience with someone in the midst of a PTSD flashback. Your unsupportive post astounds me.
Yes,as a matter of fact I do have experience,I have PTSD myself and so does my husband.

You misinterpreted my reply(or maybe I didn't word it well).I was agreeing with you,not being unsupportive.When I called 911 I was told the same thing except I was threatened with charges being pressed against me for calling them,it was something similar to why you called,that's what I meant by saying I can see why they did not consider it life or death and why you were told that,because I was treated the same way.

I was not implying you were wrong in calling or that it wasn't an emergency,just saying they treat people shi**y.

Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for this!
