Ok, I have been diagnosed with ptsd ands working with a t weekly but we haven't really addressed any trauma directly, just alluded to 'stuff' happening throughout my childhood. I don't have many memories before the age of 7 or 8 and the suspicion is there is some real reasons for this. I have panic attacks, unexplainable times of terror and emotional takeovers, for a lack of a better way to explain it. When my t asked about flashbacks, I have never really relived anything (there is some things in my teen/young adult years that try to get into my head but I push them out before they can get me).
For a while now, I am starting to hear short statements/voices in my head that are detailed enough to know they are about bad stuff. I am not certain if this is the start of what is known as flashbacks because I am not living something but get anxious when I hear the statements and it seems like it is slowly increasing bya few words or details every once in a while.
I am also scared that there is a chance that it is just my imagination running crazy. My t and I have not really begun talking about any specifics but have discussed the possibility and so I wonder if that could have been enough to make mt brain just create something. But at the same time, it feels real and bad and I get scared and feel bad when the voices come.
For those with ptsd, dies this sound familiar to you? I have been having several things syst up over the last month and I don't know if something is about to break or I am just letting my imagination get away with me.
