Feeling physically sick

Hey, does anyone else feel physically sick after having a really bad flashback? I've had flashbacks so bad that I actually throw up because they are so bad.

The reason why I'm asking this is because I feel like I'm the only one who does this and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this physical reaction to really bad flashbacks.

Thanks for your replys.

" I've definitely felt sick afterwords. I think I've only thrown up once, but I'm not sure.

Recently, even though I didn't have a flashback, something we were talking about in therapy made me bolt out of the room so I could throw up.

You're not the only one. I'm so sorry that you're going through this. "

" You aren't alone. This happens to me as well. It's horrible and difficult to deal with, but it happens. I am so sorry though :/

Just hang in there. I promise you are not the only one. "

" I had nonstop nausea for months after it happened. I didn't understand it then because I was still in denial. All I remember is craving lemons like crazy & eating them like oranges every day. Even the morning sickness I had when I was pregnant was nothing compared to this kind of nausea. Flashbacks can make me very nauseous too. I will throw up if I don't take care to rest properly. Don't know if the lemons will work for you, but you can give it a try. Just want to say you are definitely not alone. "

" I have had it happen before. I think your mind and body is freaking out and your adrenaline is going crazy because of what your minds going through and its your bodys response to the mental trauma "
