Flashbacks
The loop of starting to feel a little more alive and then another flashback kicks me in the gut, out of nowhere, takes my air out of my body and knocks me down.
All energy then is focussed on keeping me safe.
Then follows the numbness. The feeling not to be part of this world. And it lasts as long as it lasts and it leaves me in fear of the next flashback, the next time I lose control.
I don’t even know if they’re called flashbacks when you don’t get an intrusive thought but just a feeling and all your body does, and your brain, is react.
