Is it normal that i'm this traumatized?

I just recently saw someone who was hit by an officer while they were on a bike. I was right behind him and saw the guy being thrown into the air and saw his body lying on the ground. Everything that could have been done was done, but there was no chance, the guy could not make it....
His body was so mangled that I couldn't even tell what I was looking at...I'm so traumatized that I've been drinking constantly. I have episodes where I do nothing but relive the moment and cry and feel really terrible. Is this normal?

    I once saw an old lady run over by a Mac truck. There were pieces everywhere. I didn't eat for three days.

    Now, 20 years later, I remember the details, but I can't remember what anything actually looked like.

    If you are having a hard time dealing with it, then you are normal. Sometimes normal people need help dealing with abnormal stuff. PLEASE talk with your doctor about seeing someone who can help you work through this in a healthy fashion.

    Best Wishes!!!

    Of course, it is understandable. I think that you might benefit from seeing a therapist that specialises in PTSD.

    Absolutely normal but drinking won't help maybe exacerbate it

    :( wow I'm so sorry for you and the biker. If I witnessed something like that, I would feel the same as you.

    You might benefit from talking to a professional to help you work through this.

    I think your being a bit to dramatic. Maybe if that was you getting hit. But drinking and crying over some random dude getting hit.

      Trauma effects everyone differently.

        Yeah but it was such a small trauma. I dont think I would of even been affected by that.

          I don't think I would have either. I would have been a little insensitive to others who were 'bitching' about the same thing before I experienced this. But you never know until you go through it.
