I've been diagnosed with ptsd and schizaffective disorder for about a year and a half now, but I've been off ativan and all other meds for around 8 months because I had it in my head I was fine. And lately I'm definately realizing I'm not and haven't been this whole time, which is embarrising and scary. If the auditroy hallucinations weren't bad enough the ptsd has gotten worse... I think..
So basically:
I've been having flashbacks a lot of memories from the past that aren't traumatic, from very general triggers (commercials, music, smells) I get really anxious, scared, and freeze up and feel like I'm there all over again and find myself saying whatever I was thinking or saying at that exact moment. Just as if it were traumatic like other flashbacks. People have been noticing and its getting harder to make up excuses about what I was saying. I'm not sure if this is common.
Has anyone else had full fledged flashbacks of non-traumatic moments?
