You're not the only one who experiences this. I get them frequently about my psychiatric ward stays and sometimes people can't even get my attention if I'm really panicking. It's actually pretty common in response to all sorts of situations.

Sometimes seeing a therapist can help alleviate the memories, especially when given someone to talk to about whatever it was that happened. They're trained to help with that sort of aftermath.

You're not alone.

Sounds like a symptom of PTSD.

I think I know what you mean, I kind of see it as like a dream but I can see myself and whatever's going on, but never experiencing it again.

You really arent alone...I get nightmares every night from my past and flashbacks quite frequently I feel like I'm reliving every horrifying moment!...it can be related to PTSD, if your getting sleep deprivation from it or your so scared to fall asleep that you try your hardest not to then maybe talk to a professional dont be scared to talk there are SO many people who experiance this! I spoke to my physchiatrist about it out of the fear I was going insane and he gave me sleeping tablets and antidepressants I did use them at first and they are a great help..however even though im supposed to i dont take mine...I sometimes feel like no one believes my story and having my nightmares and flashbacks is the only way that keeps it real for me! I hope I helped and if you ever need to talk im always here because 100% understand what you are going through :) x

I get them fairly often too.. You are far from alone. Its terrifying reliving those horrible moments, I'm not sure how I deal with it honestly.

As already mentioned, it helps to talk to people usually.

I get flashbacks from events that happened to me, such as a brick frown in my face or my parents break up, all of them are burned into the back of my mind.

[Chachi123]

[Short Circuit]

Yes i do, something happened to me when I was 6, very traumatic, and still see it in my dreams sorry, NIGHTMARES MOST nights

[DJX97]

No, unfortuantly, you may have a bad experience and scary experience can influence this...

[MemoriesLost]

I'm out here. I often get nightmares about the times I've been bullied or abused. You're not the only one. Hang in there..... try to talk to someone about it.
