do i have flashbacks..........(yes i have flashbacks about things that happened in the past).
do you avoid anything that scares you or you see in your flashbacks ............(yes , i avoid my bike , of all things, as when i was first ill i used to ride my bike all the time ).
the long and short of it all he said he feels some ptsd treatment would help me, but now im confused has my depression turned into ptsd or is ptsd a new thing to worry about.

Hi therealme. You might be interested in a book "The Body Keeps The Score" by Bessel van der Kolk. It's about PTSD, why you have flashbacks, what you might be able to do about it, etc. Personally I suspect that PTSD and depression are very closely related and I suspect that you basically have one problem, not two.
