A member asked:

I'm haunted by memories of my near drowning. how can i get past this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek therapy: I'm sorry you went through that. What you're talking about is a very traumatic experience and you might need help to work through that. I would recommend seeking therapy with a therapist who specializes in treating people exposed to traumatic events. Good luck!
