PTSD, Major Depression and Acute Anxiety. Back pain and thigh numbness from an accident?On February 14, 2010 at 1 am I was asleep in the bunk of a hi way tractor. I was awakened buy My team driver shouting, the truck struck a guard rail and jumped over 100 feet landing on it's right side on a pile of granite rock from a hill that had been blasted out and pushed down to level the road. I remember the impact of the guard rail and the feeling of floating and silence and I thought to myself I'm dead before the truck landed on the blasted rock and slid on it's side another 150 to 200 feet before coming to a stop. when i got my bearings, I could only think why are my feet so cold and when my eye's adjusted I could see I was standing in the snow, because the fiberglass roof section of the truck had been ripped open like a clam. I pulled back the curtain and asked my team driver if he was ok and what had happened. All he said was I passed out I didn't fall asleep. To this day he has not taken responsibility showed and remorse or even said he was sorry about the accident. I immediately felt tightness in by back from my neck to by buttox, numbness in my right leg and I had some cuts and bruises. Upon receiving a once over at the local hospital they issued me with some advil and told me it was possible that the swelling and tightness in my back may be pressing on a nerve causing the numbness in my right leg. Upon getting debriefed at the company when i got back to the main terminal the told me they would require a full clean bill of health physically, emotionally and mentally before I could return to work. Upon getting home I started to see a chiropractor and requested counseling from my family Dr. She made an appointment with a psychologist but they could not see me till April. By the time I got into the assessment My wife had just about had enough of my angry outburst and general irritability. I had a one hour interview with the dr. and spent 1 1/2 hours answering a list of almost 500 questions. Therapy was progressing along and then a few stressors started to come up, and things started going backward. My question is when I take a trip of any length in a car my back gets all tensed up and really hurts. I think I may be afraid to go to sleep as I cannot lay down to go to sleep till I am pretty much exhausted. Otherwise the accident just replays over and over in my mind. If I get woke up by a noise I awake hyperventilating and it takes 2 to 4 hours to calm down and get the anxiety under control. Sudden loud noises when awake also set of an anxiety attacks, some have lasted almost 9 hours. Some people have told me that extreme cases like mine where i was suddenly awoke and thrust through a major accident can result in symptoms that may never become manageable. Is this possible that I may suffer from this for the rest of my life?

hi. first off, let me tell you how sorry i am this happened to you.
secondly, i think that with medicine you might be able to get rid of the anxiety when trying to sleep.
PTSD can be treated with success. no one in the world except you knows how much it really affected you because you're the only you and you are the only person that felt it the way you did.
it might take time, but with proper therapy and support, you can get through it!
i wish you the best of luck!

Hey,
The symptoms and illness people are referring to is PTSD.
Thankfully, there IS effective treatment for this now, and it doesn't take forever or make you re-live the pain, like traditional therapy.
Many therapists are doing just what they have been trained, and that means talking and re-living the trauma over and over. I think that is sadistic and completely not necessary.
Here are some places , videos and therapists that you can check outin how this is healed with the right help and methods.
stressproject.org eftmastersworldwide.com emotional-health.co.uk
This is the best known, quickest way to heal from your trauma known.
The second best MAY be emdr.com
If you don't have an attorney, I would have to ask you why, since you do indeed need help in getting compensation for all this damage. bestlawyers.com
I would also recommend that you look up TENS machines, and find a spinal decompression clinic near you for your back issues and pain. Both are the best known treatments and have helped many people avoid surgery that may or may not help.
Finally, as far as your seemingly indifferent, sociopathic, psychopathic, narcissistic or just frightened to be sued, driver, well, a law suit is probably what he is worried abou there, also, and may even be recording everything you are saying about accident and your pain. idk. I wouldn't think that sounds trustworthy and you should just stay away.
What i am saying is you can heal. Those are the resources you need. A regular doctor may say you cannot heal, because they are not teaching this method yet to most .
best wishes

what is vitally important is to choose your healing route- for this problem ----- carefully from good information—that means knowing druggs/meds treatment for this can/will be damaging to your mind and body .drugs only mask the symptoms they do not cure.
This info well –it will save ---years of suffering = if you apply it ..
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense
It costs millions of pounds to test and approve just one treatment.
Drug companies pay for most testing and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies that have been tested with profit potential in them.
Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved massive amounts of suffering
Drugs are not the answer for any mental illness-- at best they mask symptoms
This is a fundamental principle grasp this fully –
Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, reiki Light therapy, Colour therapy, the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy and u wont because no one can put a patent on these powerful therapies .
For much more info/ detail and research behind this protocol
Go here http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/theholistichealingofdepressiongroup/
Upon joining this group you will be sent a file giving the info –or go to the files section within the group and u will see it there
Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by anyone trying for short cuts …
.
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.
2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this --- 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results
3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy - nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have
4 study and apply good nutrition— adele davis books =protein minerals =iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc
5 ensure your thyroid is working well get it checked
6 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.
7 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well . choose your company well.
8 get to a place which personally love or like
9 do some work which you like or love
10 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don't want to add to your karma do we !!!
11 spiritual healing and reiki find good therapists who offer this service in your area many spiritualist churches which are all around offer this for free as part of their vocational offerings to the divine.
12 focus your mind - think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,
13 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..
14 Positive affirmation- t programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .
15 get a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time
16 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs.== find a big tree and hug that.
.
17 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy
18 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives ==ensure water intake 2 litres a day
A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work. The more u do the better u will feel .
