I had a horrible experience this morning - about the closest thing to a true "back in the moment" flashback I ever had. Because it's October 1st - the anniversary of the day I went back to work 2 years ago. Said something about it being an anniversary of sorts to someone this morning, and that got me going back in my mind to the events of 2 years ago. Before I hardly had time to think, the old, familiar feeling of panic and terror began to well up, and I had pretty close to a full-blown panic attack. In a public place yet. It wasn't pretty.
IT was weird because it seemed so fresh and vivid in my mind, like what I had for lunch that day, etc. The whole day is SO vivid, from the morning until night. And it really was terrifying, because I was so afraid I was going to get caught and "outed" over what really happened.
