You're a trucker.
Of course you need a shrink.

I actually started to run after I set down the jug of gasoline but I only took about 2 steps before my brain screamed STOP, DROP, ROLL!!!!! I threw myself to the ground and rolled while trying to tear my shirt off, but I couldnt get it completely off while on the ground. So I got up to my knees and saw that the fire wasnt completely out, so I rolled around some more with my arms pined back and to my sides because they were trapped in my shirt. Thats why my arm got some of the worst burns... The flaming shirt was pulled tightly against my arm.
Once I was extinguished I got the shirt off, calmly made sure nothing else was burning, walked to the front door wjere my wife was just walking out to ask me when i was coming inside. She instead asked what happened, all I could say was "Gasoline" she chuckled and said "Well I guess you dont need a haircut now" and turned around to go back inside. I began to walk out to pickup what was left of my shirt, but stopped short. I turned around and said, "Honey, I think I need you to take me to the hospital." Thats when she noticed my badly burned upper body... And freaked out!!!
By the time we got to the hospital the pain was absolutely excruciating!!! She pulled up to the ER enterance, I told her to gobpark the car and I was out before she even stopped. I walked in and clamly said "I need a drink of water, and something for pain." The reception nurse looked up and went white as a sheet, then quickly got up and directed me into the ER proper... As I walked into the main ER trauma area everyone exploded into action. A nurse brought a 1 quart bottle of saline to rinse me off, I chuckled "I don't think that little bottle is going to cut is Miss." Then a big male nurse walked up with a wheel chair and said "Yeah your right, I'm taking you up to a room with a shower"
That 10 mins or so in a room temperature shower was the worst pain. After a good rinse I went back down to the ER. After a Dr. verified that I didnt have breathing problems or any internal burns in my mouth or throat I got the drink of water I wanted and fentanyl for pain. Then it was mainly observation and loosely bandaging my burns. Before I went home they gave me a second blast of fentanyl... Maxing out my 24 hr limit.
Then it was twice a week torture sessions with the burn Dr. for 6 weeks.
