Hi SkyBdark
I am soory to hear you are going through this,.
I know that when I was younger, I used to have flashbacks all the time , usually around the abuse as a child, actually I started having them when I was about 9yrs old and it continued through my teens.I had no idea what was happening to me at that time.
Eventually though they did just seem to go away, I guess after I left home and was safe from danger. Only very rarely do I ever get any I think.I have PSTD, dissociative disorder adn depression with high anxiety, so maybe I don't realize it.You made me question myself, which is a good thing. I have been in therapy off and on for about 6-7 years now, and use med's. I rtemember the flashbacks being very scary, so I don't really remember having any for awhile, so I do think that they in time will stop, or at least that is what I was told.
I was also taught to try and keep myself grounded by telling myself that I am not going through any abuse right now it is just a memory etc.
Don't know if this is any help, but I thiught I would share this info. with you.
Best Wishes for the New Year.
