I remember the aftershocks, and I still have ptsd regarding earthquakes. I've felt a few small ones back stateside and feels like it starts the cycle over again

    Just curious, what would you expect to happen if they did?

      I don’t exactly understand why he’s being downvoted. Perhaps he could have worded things better, but I read it in good faith. A doctor may be able to tell them some specific coping mechanisms that could be helpful in breaking the thought loop they were otherwise unaware of, & sometimes a short duration of medication like a benzo can break the anxiety enough so that it doesn’t come back. Obviously, it’s hard to tell over the internet, & that’s why it’s recommended to see a professional.

        If he/she actually has PTSD-- which is entirely within the realm of possibility, there are medications such as Prazosin as well as therapy that can help.

  Start to accept that your just a human in a world not steered or controlled by humans, i always try to imagine being a astronaut looking back to earth and think: Every single human ever born, and every single word ever written and every single day in history lived was on that small wonderful marble in the vastness of space. What more can happen to you then to die? Living i fear. We all have to die, but we don't have to live in fear.
