General Reactions to Emergencies or Critical Incidents in Adults

First Reactions May Include:

Numbness, shock, difficulty believing what has occurred or is in the
          process of occurring

Physical and mental reactions may be very slow or confused

Difficulty in decision making; uncertainty about things; it may be difficult
           to choose a course of action or to make even small judgment calls

Ongoing Reactions May Include:

Loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, loss of interest or pleasure in

          everyday activities

Desire to get away from everyone - even family/friends

Emotional liability; becoming irritable or upset more quickly than usual

Feelings of fatigue, hopelessness, helplessness

Digestive problems; headaches or backaches

Difficulty accepting that the emergency has had an impact or difficulty
          accepting support from friends and the community

Some Things That Can Be Helpful:

Take time to relax and do things you find pleasant; getting away for a
          few hours with close friends can be helpful

Stick with your regular routine for a while; avoid making changes, even
          if it appears to be a positive change

Get regular exercise or participate in a regular sport; activity soothes anxiety
          and helps you relax

Keep your days as simple as possible; avoid taking on any
          additional responsibilities or new projects

Tap sources of assistance with your workload - have students,
          instructional assistants, or volunteers help grade papers, take care of
          copying, or help with other time-consuming tasks

If symptoms of stress persist beyond a few weeks or are severe,

          seek professional help
