yes, i call them blind flashbacks. i know its something there but cant get a grasp on it.

i have heard others here use the term emotional flashback.

I mean, i see a image, but its not enough time to actually know what the image is and this has been happening to me all day today... its so scary and stressful.... for a second i feel like im somewhere else also....

It will pass just keep talking bout it

I often get twinges of deep anxiety that only last a short while, mostly when I'm feeling sick from my chronic illness. Most of the time I can't even say what I am anxious about, it's just a sinking feeling. I've tried to figure out what they come from, and it seems to be an insecurity that comes from a lifetime of crisis and trauma.

I try to do positive things to feel more secure about where I'm going, but often it does not help much. Lowering my stress levels helps me, but my situation tends to slip out of my control all the time. I feel like I'm living on the edge of calamity.

It's like we're being emotionally ambushed all the time.

I hope it helps to know you are not the only person who deals with things like this.
