I don't know if this is the right place to post this but...

I just saw someone get shot a few hours ago...I am incredibly traumatized...I need someone to talk to...is there anyone I can talk to about this? I've been shaking and crying uncontrollably for and hour now... ):

I am trying to think of what to say. That is very traumatic, and after something like that I would be more concerned if you didn't have a reaction. I'm glad that you are reaching out for someone to talk to. I'd like to help, but I'm concerned that talking online might not really be enough for you you right now, and I'd encourage you to talk to someone in real life if you can. If not, hearing someone's voice on the phone still would give you more than online. If you don't know someone you can call, maybe someone here can help you find a crisis service, or there might be one listed for your community in your phone book.

I hope that you are able to get all the support you need, and I am sorry that you had to see what you did.

Yeah, I'm actually talking to a friend on the phone right now, it's helping a bit.

Thanks for your advice and concern. I really appreciate it.

So, so sorry you had to endure this.... life is so tough... most of the time. Try and chill out, better yet, go and see friend or family.... it helps also to talk in person Hugs

Hello Azkaban. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It is scary and hard to collect your thoughts afterwards. When i was in college, I witnessed a murder right outside my bedroom window. Two men were fighting and one pulled a gun. The gunman saw me. I spent days without sleep. Scared he would come back for me. I was scared to call the police because he saw me. I hid in my room crying and shaking like you. I did not share with anyone what i witnessed. To this day i still think of that night. The memories of it arent like they use to be. They don't haunt me like they use to.

I agree with the others. I think you talking to someone about it would help you get through it. Its not something you want to go through alone. I hope you seek help. And i wish you good thoughts to overcome this.

I am glad you reached out and I am so glad you are talking to someone IRL. I am sorry you have had to see this. I can understand and talking is important. We are here to listen when you are ready to talk. Please do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. If you have to call 911 or go to the Er and reach out to someone. If you can be with someone so you are not alone that would be good too. Know that we care and we are listening when you are ready. Sending many gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
