“Don’t Lose Yourself” is one of the best things I’ve read as a first responder. It’s short, powerful, and brutally honest in all the right ways. You can tell it’s written by someone who’s actually been there. It’s not sugarcoated, and that’s what makes it hit hard. I found myself nodding the whole way through and even re-reading a few parts.
It felt like talking to a mentor who just gets it. Definitely something I’ll come back to again when I need to reset. Highly recommend this to anyone in EMS, fire, or public safety in general.
