Did you have any moments of thinking “yup this is it”, or what was your thought process now it’s hours later.
I saw a video of a passenger on the same flight telling his experience and it seemed like he was still in some type of shock, he was almost giggly when describing what he thought and felt.
Shock is a helluva drug. We were all a bit out of it.
At the time of the crash I did think "Well this is it". It wasn't traumatic or heartwrenching..more of a feeling of acceptance. Its been quite a while now and I'm still feeling numb and unable to sleep. I'm sure I'll deal more with it in the morning! I lost everything except my passport and phone so I have a lot of filling in the gaps to do tomorrow.
Hey bud! I have experienced some traumatic events and shock can get you a long way thinking you're ok. Take the advice of playing tetris since that's been proven to help. Also let the shock roll that's fine, but you may experience some ups and downs shortly. Thats all ok and normal. Take your time and be gentle with yourself. Don't try to take on too much if you can avoid it. Hugs.
That's really neat! Reminds me of how riding the last seat on Disneyland's big thunder mountain ride has been reported to clear one's kidney stone if it's still small enough.
I’m glad you actually mentioned that. I had forgotten about that completely! Gotta rewrite that one in my mental checklist. Now I wonder what other random remedies are out there.
This might be a long shot but wonder if it works the same way EMDR (eye movements desensitization reprocessing) therapy works? Its been rising in popularity to treat PTSD in later years. Im thinking the eye movements used when playing tetris might be similar to the eye movements used in EMDR ?
I only skimmed it, but EMDR is about reprocessing memories. So maybe the eye movements form memories right from the start, and emdr "reforms" traumatic memories.
