I didn't really know where to put this post, but I'm assuming at least some of you have had experiences with flashbacks.
The past few weeks I've been experiencing moments where I'm taken out of the present and thrown back to a (any) specific situation. I'm vaguely aware of the present occuring in the background, but my mindset, emotions, attitude, etc are sent back to that period of my life. And when I get there I'm not really sure I want to leave. It's comfortable. It feels like home there.
This doesn't sound like a typical flashback to me, but I have no idea what to call it or attribute it to.

It sounds like a flashback in that you are taken out of the moment and put into the past without warning, but it sure doesn't sound like mine. Can you figure out what is triggering them?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
