MY DEAR FRIEND. MY STORY IS I SEEN MY MOM DIE IN FRONT OF ME. I SEEN MY WINGMAN DIE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE FLASHBACKS EVERYDAY AND IT HURTS. TRY THIS WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU SEE AND THEN PUT IT IN A FILE AND TAKE IT TO YOUR DOCTOR AND MAYBE YOUR DOCTOR CAN HELP.

I agree - you need to take these to a good therapist who can help you process them. These types of flashbacks with no memory of the event can have several meanings, from the unlocking of repressed memories to unbridaled fantacies. Only a therapist who is trained in several different techniques can help you process them and what they mean.

I have flashbacks too, just about every day of my life. But I've learned how to deal with them through the years. Therapy helped me tremendously by having someone to talk to who was knowledgeable about abuse. I also find journaling helpful. I've always liked to write. I'm no doctor but I would recommend a good therapist. If you still are not sleeping after a while I would see a doctor. Sleep is really important. At least it is to me. If you ever need to vent or write, message me. Keep your chin up.

I saw my brother burn to death, I have flash backs all the time about beatings I got and other crap I saw a doctor and it helps after awhile.

I suffered a brutal mutiple rape and attack many years ago and then made myself forget. it was called selectice amnesia. My pastor called it remembering without remembering. I got a good therypist and now remember most of it. yes dam flashbacks just about describes it. hang in there. we are here for you.

sorry ment to put selective amnesia.

i agree with them. i write things down and then take them with me to my psychologist or i email them to her. i just had one where i remembered being raped when i was 16. its not fun at all, but you can get some help from your doc. all strength and courage to you

repressed memories are a bitch :(

I hide the fact that i was sexually raped by a family member for 40 yrs. One day had to take my son to a therphist and she wanted to know about me to help him...

She opened that part of my mind up and i started having flashbacks so bad that when i would drive i have to pull off to the side of the road till they were over..

But as i kept having them the more my soul, body and mind was healing. And after awhile of having the flash backs they were not so serve like they once was..

I was actually able to cope with the fact of being raped at age 8.

I can talk about it now and not cry all the time so for me anyways having flashbacks helped me to heal.

I still have them from time to time but not like i use too.
