you're welcome. the hardest part for me now when a flashback cycle starts is remembering what to do. my first instict is to hold my breath and head off to my la la land (mental safe place) so I carry with me taped to the cover of my notebook a list of what to do. putting music on= is automatic for me. on the back of my walkman and or cassette case is - take out notebook. inside notebook is - 3.dont hold breath put hand on heart and match breathing and heart rate and slow them down. 4. look for the nearest bathroom. 5. what am I seeing? 6. what am I hearing? 7. what am I feeling psyically and or mentally.? Most of the time I can do it without the list but for those times when the pictures are extremely gory and pass out painful I have been very glad I have the list to go by. you may think you're going crazy, but you are not crazy, the fact that your brain is processing your memories says you are very normal. and it may feel like it will never end but It does get better as for your flashbacks ending forever I can't promise that. take care.
