All of us in FLORIDA are having " ACUTE STRESS DISORDER"...
Look through your friends and families posts!
There is a FREE hotline Call or text 1-800-985-5990 FREE TELEPHONE HOTLINE FOR US!!! People living in hurricane-prone areas as well as anyone who has struggled to recover from experiences with past storms may be at risk for emotional distress becomes greater:
You may feel unprepared, isolated, overwhelmed, or confused.
Uncertainty about where to go during a hurricane, how to keep your pets safe, or whether you will be able to continue taking any medications can cause emotional distress.
You may lose contact with a loved one in an impacted area due to power and Internet outages.
You may experience difficult memories and emotions associated with similar traumatic experiences in the past.
If you are relocated, being in an unfamiliar environment can be difficult, especially for people with limited physical mobility, economic means, or knowledge of the English language.
Returning to a home, business, school, or place of worship impacted by a hurricane may cause additional distress, especially if there is structural damage. A temporary or permanent loss of employment may also occur.
Remember, too, that the anniversary of a disaster or tragic event can renew feelings of fear, anxiety, and sadness in disaster survivors. Certain smells or sounds, such as smoke or sirens, can also trigger emotional distress. These and other environmental sensations can take people right back to the event, or cause them to fear that it’s about to happen again. These “trigger events” can happen at any time.
People can experience a wide range of emotions before and after a disaster or traumatic event. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. However, it’s important to find healthy ways to cope when these events happen. Learn about coping tips for dealing with hurricanes, tropical storms, and other types of disasters.
