And it's so intense, and it gets to the point where i'm sobbing uncontrollably, because the physical pain was too much to handle. What I need to know is.... is this normal? I know i've mentioned things like this happening before, but I didn't think it would ever get this intense. It's nearly impossible to sleep, now. I'm so tired, and yeah... that doesn't help with it at all!

for some people yes its normal to have this kind of reaction and for others no it isnt.
here where I live and work, whats happening to you is called intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and body memories. for me yes it was normal for me to go through having intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and body memories due to and revolving around the traumas, I went through.
we cant tell you if its normal for you, that would be trying to diagnose you and we are not allowed to do that here.
the only way you can find out if this is normal for you is by contacting your treatment providers.
