Rape Support Group
If you or someone you know has been the victim of rape, this is the place to find support and get advice. If you want, discuss your experience, share your feelings, and meet others going through a similar situation.
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 can't say definitively yet, but it seems like triggers are music (certain songs/bands/genres from the time period), similar situations to the original event, weed sometimes, other times I haven't figured it out at all.
