WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF
When you've experienced a trauma, it can be shock to your whole system.  The following are some ideas to help you cope with any physical or emotional symptoms you may be experiencing.
 

Eat well-balanced and regular meals, even if you don't feel like it.  Good nutrition is very important when you are feeling stressed. Get plenty of rest. Exercise regularly.  It can help work off some physical stress symptoms, leaving you feeling calmer and better able to relax.  If you're feeling lethargic it can help energize and clear your mind. Avoid caffeine, especially if you are having trouble sleeping. Avoid the use of drugs or alcohol, including prescription and over the counter drugs to numb the pain.  It will only complicate or delay your recovery.

Talk with people you trust:  your family, friends, coworkers.  Don't be afraid to reach out.  People do care. Don't be afraid to set limits with others when you don't feel like talking.  You don't have to discuss the incident or your feelings when you don't want to. Don't label yourself as "crazy."  Remind yourself you're having normal reactions. Write down your thoughts and feelings.  This can be especially helpful if you're having trouble sleeping or when you wake from a troubling dream. (more)
