After having my breakdown in 2013 I had loads of flashbacks due to PTSD. Almost all of them were me ‘flashing’ back to the Time that Greater Manchester Police were in the flat, The Hi-viz jackets they wore were so visible in the flashbacks. I had some Therapy in 2014 which used an NLP approach to help me deal with the flashbacks caused by PTSD. It really did help and I had thought I had gotten a handle on it, however they have re-emerged this week.
The trigger this week was due to Greater Manchester Police turning up at the flat again. (Nothing as serious as 2013) but it brought all the memories back again and the flashbacks. The flashbacks are a mixture of the 2013 events and this weeks, yet again the officers hi-viz clothing is extremely vivid.
I Have been so anxious and shaky since they turned up. Just as I thought I was getting somewhere, something simple throws me back.
This is not going to be as strong or last as long as last time, you are stronger now! Last time you were completely struck down but this time you were able to handle the visit and see them on their way. Believe in yourself and take strength from thinking how well you did. Your support group (everyone who loves you) can see how hard you are trying and how well you are doing, Hang in there love.
