[Mufc in reply to steve55]

Yes my husband was in the hotel room he shot into

Scary

Oh my... I was not aware that Paddock had shot into other hotel rooms but rather that he shot into the crowds at the concert event being held adjacent to the hotel...Was your husband injured in the shooting? If so I am very surprised he was not given/offered counselling to deal with the trauma. There are support services set up for those involved/affected by the event, but if your husband was visiting Vegas and has since returned home, your doc should be able to refer your husband for counselling to help him deal with the effects of being caught up in such a traumatic event.

I hope that he will be able to access the help he needs.

No he is not injured physically but mentally he has been injured. He has got an appointment to see a psychiatrist who hopefully will help.

[steve55 in reply to Mufc]

mufc whats happened to him and what may have seen, your husband may be suffering from ptsd, so your first port of call should be your drs explaining this, dont take no for an answer.

good luck

Anxiety caused from whatever source is caused by an overproduction of norepinephrine causing extreme fight or flight responses, anxiety being one of them. Here are some actions to replace norepinephrine with serotonin and dopamine and therefore calm things down and feel better :

How to feel better, reduce depression, anxiety, calm down other unusual reactions, and improve the quality of life. You can do the activities below to increase serotonin and dopamine without medication, potions, or taking in other substances. This puts you in control of your brain chemistry.

Dopamine - Do a 30 day challenge by taking the actions described below, every day for 30 days and see how life changes for you. Many times when we’re feeling less than we'd like to be our system is running on norepinephrine (fight or flight in an extreme and sometimes weird manner). Therefore, the first step, to get us out of running on norepinephrine is by switching our brain chemistry to running on serotonin and then dopamine. The unusual thing about this is we can actually change our brain chemistry without drugs, herbs, or other potions. The actions I now describe will move you from operating from norepinephrine to serotonin and then to dopamine, where you are in your control power center.

1.To move from norepinephrine to serotonin do one or more of the following - Lie on the floor for a few moments, or do some light fiction reading, or listen to soothing music, or do some coloring or work some simple puzzles, or go for a mild walk outside.

2.Then to move from serotonin to dopamine do one or more of the following: Read educational or philosophical books, or listen to upbeat music, or laugh, or watch comedies, work more challenging puzzles, or do strength exercises or tai chi, or get a massage, or do creative projects, or do things with your non-dominant hand, or learn something new, or go someplace new.

3.To take it one more step –

a.Make a list of 10 things you really like to do.

b.Next, narrow that list down to your top five.

c.Then your top two

d.Finally pick your top one.

e.Then write a story describing that person who is doing that thing and all the things they would be experiencing while doing that thing, including the qualities that person has.

f. Answer the question – Who would I be if I lived this quality 24/7 (Write this from the perspective of this character.)

If you have questions, please feel free to let me know. I hope that this can be of value for you to use.
