PTSD – Flashbacks

Since my Counselling Started to help reduce my Nightmares and flashbacks from events that happened in Nov 2013. I have had a good couple of months without them, but had had the first one in ages the other night. Scared the crap out of my was screaming as i woke. But it didn’t disrupt my whole day like they normally do. Small victory but a huge step forward for me.

Flashbacks are horrible. Takes ya right back there to all the sounds, smells and feelings i had at the time of the incident. Its definately not like recalling a memory. Terrified, but shows the counselling works as i could calm down and more on soon after. It didn’t ruin my whole day.

One thought on “PTSD – Flashbacks

  1. So glad to hear you were able to cope with the aftermath. xxx. Things only get worse when the ‘hangover’ stays around. Fingers crossed it will be a longtime/never before you have another xxx. I had a panic attack the other week for the first time in years and all my coping mechanisms came into play and stopped it getting out of hand. All of this you are learning now, will stand you in good stead in the future and make you stronger because of it. And you are stronger than you know xxx
