How Do You Cope? · Kelsey Waghorn: 'There’s nothing quite like someone telling you, "you are normal"' · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

adds to the stress of everything and then it got to the point where it was like well I don't know what's going on they don't know what's going on and it's upsetting them so I'll stop telling them what little I know and I'll try and hide it and protect them from it because I hate this they hate this and at least I can try and sort of nullify it for them but I mean it just sort of internally combusted and it came out anyway but

yeah it's yeah what little I've ever seen of it in movies sort of with like war veterans I suppose is yeah you can see why it's never portrayed as

you don't really ever see anyone getting out of it.

And I can see why.

And after having been through it, it's like, yeah, I can see why people take their own lives when they have PTSD, when you're trying all these different things.

Like I tried hypnotherapy.

God, I tried everything.

And things just seem to sort of open Pandora's box and make things worse, not get better.

But yeah, it was just sort of a core understanding and even just

It sounds real woo-woo, but meditation and yoga and grounding and gratitude really helped for me and really just sort of like really calm things back down and sort of rewired that nervous system to get my shit back together, really.

Yeah, I think you have to realize that it's all very extreme circumstances until you are going to have these moments where you just want to punch someone in the face, even though they're doing their very best to help you.

You're going to want to just throw something at someone on both ends, both the person in the bed and the person standing next to the bed.

You're going to want to just slap them.

And I think that's a valid feeling, but you shouldn't act on it.

Yeah, yeah.

but yeah I don't know I think it's um having I guess the empathy and that respect for the person that's sitting across from you and you know you're doing everything you can um I think space like like we mentioned that rehab fatigue like it's hard work like on both ends on every everyone who's involved in like major burns rehab like

everyone's tired everyone's sick of it everyone is wrung out and so you do snap at each other because you're like living in each other's pockets because they're trying to help you because you need the help you don't want the help but you need the help and you kind of go in this vicious cycle of like I just want my independence back but I I'm not there yet and you sort of just have to accept where you are and they sort of need to try and give you as much independence as reasonably possible I suppose um

But my partner at the time ended up being my full-time carer as well as a full-time dairy farmer.

And so obviously that was a lot for him to carry.

And I mean, it's in the book.
