I work as a volunteer in a Fire & Rescue unit. Last night, I was called to an accident - fairly routine.
But last nights accident was the worst thing I have ever seen. We were called to the railway at 8pm with police.
On arrival, it began to be apparent. A train was parked, and we were told that it'd hit a pedestrian at high speed. The sight was the most gruesome,bloody thing I have ever seen - we couldnt even tell a gender. To keep out of detail, my issue is now dealing with it. The peer support team can't help due to a long backlog of work - but I can't get the images out of my head. I feel physically sick at the thought, can't focus and feel furious to know it was probably suicide - it seemed the "how" was so selfish. I can't go into details with my g/f or friends - but I need to talk to someone with enough stomach to get the details out of my head - my colleauges need the same. A local counselling service refused to hear detail in case it upset their staff. Who to talk to..
