Those flashbacks must be scary! It's not something I've really experienced. If anything, I get flash-forwards.

Is there anything you think that may help to keep your mind in the here and now? I don't really know, but maybe it's all a part of confronting past trauma. This is it's way of fighting back as you try to work on dealing with the hold it has on you. So as incredibly difficult as it is right now, maybe it's a sign that you are making progress.

@MJG017 i don't know why it's happening. It only started after that medication but now it's not stopping and it's getting worse.

It’s not fun is it?
I am struggling at the moment with flashbacks too. I am wondering if cancelling my psych appointments would fix it? I am scared too.

Re: Life and trauma

@Oaktree it's horrible. But I don't think you should cancel your psych appointments. Sitting with you ❤️

Thanks @Jynx . I have company here at the moment which is rather odd for me but it's not bad company for once.

It's nice that you have some company there with you. That always takes my mind off my troubles... to just sit and hang out with someone.

@Oaktree

For what it's worth, I don't think you should cancel your appointments either. You're trying to get these memories our of living in your head and they're just putting up a fight about being kicked out of their home for so long now.

@Jynx nope, they are about to leave. Not exactly someone i can share things with so I'm just trying to hold myself together. But it's at least served as a little distraction.

Re: Life and trauma

@MJG017 yeah it doesn't happen very often. Anyway they have left now, so I'm back to being alone.
