Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Hopefully you take the time today to enjoy the people who are close to you. Make sure to take time for yourself and don’t push yourself to crazy to meet the needs of other people.

If your working, thank you. Don’t hate the fact you are, some of my best memories was working on the holiday and coming together to make it the best we could. Try and look at the
positive!

We often spend so much time telling ourselves that we are ok and we’re fine, but are we really ok?

The demons exist yet we fail to recognize their existence. Maybe we do recognize it but we fail to take the steps we need to protect those around us (and ourselves).

Take a step back and look in the mirror. Want the real truth of what you look like? ask those closest to you. Why don’t we do this? because were afraid of the answer.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Don’t let your demons become theres.

Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you? I’ll start…🙋🏻‍♂️

BUT everyone says “leave work at work”… “dont take the job home with you”

Wouldn’t that be nice! Lets be realistic. Most calls we can absolutely leave at the station, but then there are those calls that stay…they linger…they never seem to go away.

Does this make you weak? No
Does this make you not strong? No

IT MAKES YOU HUMAN!

We see things we shouldn’t.
We see thing’s that would make most run away.

Our biggest problem..we don’t talk about it. We fake the smiles, we fake our mood, but who are we really faking? you guessed it..US!

If you find yourself dwelling about a call, its ok. It just means its time for a cleanup or tuneup. Its a red flag waiving inside you saying “hey, we need to talk about this to process it”….nothing wrong with that.

Need help finding a place to talk? Reach out.

Stop faking the smiles, not only are we hurting ourselves but were hurting those who mean the most to us…our loved ones.

I can only imagine the stories our fire horses and dogs heard after a bad call…

- No technology to seak help
- No phone numbers to call for assistance
- No CISM or Peer Support programs
- No resilience training

I’m sure the local watering hole had a line out the door, but the firehouse probably had everything they needed to wash away the memories to continue on inside of it.

We may not be where we need to as a profession regarding mental health but we are at least moving forward!

When we are done and our gear is hung for the last time, how are we going to look back at our time?

It doesn’t matter your role, career or volunteer. The hours you dedicated from your personal life to give back to others is what makes us stand out from others.

We literally give what we have to ensure those who need will receive. We don’t put ourselves first, we don’t put our needs first. Many times we actually get mistreated by those we want to help, the local government, or even by the ones called our “leaders”. But we always show up.

Its important now to stop and think of what we want to see when we look in the mirror when we’re old. Are we on the right track? are we where we want to be?

No? Then the time is now to make change.

You are solely responsible for you. Don’t regret it later.

Does time really steal from you or does it give you rewards?

People say time steals from us when talking about our children, but how lucky are we that we get the time to actually see them grow and become their own person?

How many people don’t get that opportunity?

Its all in the perspective.

Maybe as a first responder we look at things differently than others. We don’t just see death in the old, but also the young and inbetween. We see how some people aren’t allowed to grow with time and are taken away so early.

We also see how other factors play a role in how time can be perceived. Elderly with no family, mothers and fathers addicted to drugs living on the street, children living in foster homes with no parents, or those living with a disability.

Stop thinking time is taking something away from you. Change your perspective from time
being a bad thing to being a wonderful opportunity that not everyone gets.

Its all about perspective.

If you have not watched Code 3 yet and plan to, be careful!

⚠️ If your a person that struggles from previous incidents or have PTSD: they do so well depicting EMS that you may run into some triggers. A few times while watching, the heart racing began..mind went directly back to a place I didn’t need to be. Just a warning…⚠️

BUT…this movie was done perfectly to show how being a first responder (primarily EMS) works. They took all the things we as providers complain about and make them into a comedy that we can totally relate to.

BUT…they depict PTSD and burnout pretty spot on. They do it in a way that those who are not suffering (family, friends) can pretty much see first hand why we are how we are. Is it 100% accurate? no…but what first responder movie is?

I give the actors and producers A TON of credit for sending the messages they did about working in EMS and highlighting burnout and PTSD. Instead of being listed as a hilarious comedy, it should be a documtentary and used for educational purposes, in my opinion.

If you have watched it, let us know what you think below in the comments!
