Lucky me. I got that normal PTSD from watching my best friend commit suicide by stepping in front of a train, and then spending an hour with his corpse until the ambulance got there.

I'm so sorry. That sounds so so awful. You deserve all the comfort and space in the world. I hope you're able to find calm soon. I recommend reaching out for professional help if you haven't. They really can help anyone— no case is too small, too big, or too far gone.

Many people have experienced similar things as you, and been plagued with the same emotional scars for many long years... and were still able to reduce the pain after getting the care they needed. I believe you can too.

Much love to you, friend.

I was at Union station when I saw a man get dragged by a train by his backpack and pulled under the wheels.

An hour though? Wtf? Why an hour? Why didn't the cops at least show up?

Three of us went to a beach a hours walk up the track from town. On the way back he decided to do it. 1 person freaked out and ran all the way back to town. I walked up towards the now stopping train to tell them they had hit my buddy. They were well aware. So I sat with him for an hour while they radioed into town. Cops & ambulance got there together

Northern Canada. The bush.
