[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 366334, member: 13921"] Sometimes, you really do have to do one day at a time. 2 weeks ago, one of the buildings I deliver to had a hostage incident that ended in the death of the hostage taker. I happened to be there just as the sheriff was responding. While I did not actually see or even hear the guy get shot, I ended up with quite a few symptoms of PTSD. It was tough watching the people that sign my board everyday running for their lives, obviously scared for their lives. I found my coworkers very unhelpful. For me, it was just talking with the folks that were there and letting people tell me, "I've been praying for you and the others." It is very, very humbling when strangers tell you that. I've been covering the route for almost a year and thought about going back and covering other routes. I'm glad that I did not. It gets a little easier everyday and everyday, I run into another person that says something nice that makes the day go better. More here.....
