*Possible Trigger* The title pretty much explains it. I can say that I have flashbacks but I also have something different happen. I get uncharacteristically paranoid out of nowhere and believe with every fiber of my being that someone's coming to hurt me. Now this could very well be extreme anxiety but it also fits the description of a delusion. On top of that, a flashback is a flashback, you swear it's happening again. An intrusive memory just won't leave your mind. Then there's what's been happening to me over the past five months. It's not a flashback, I don't feel like I'm reliving it. It's not a loud intrusive memory, because I see him. Physically, he's there. Staring at me and looking exactly like he did that day. Doesn't say anything, usually. Just stares at me and follows me. That's easier to ignore than the auditory crap. The auditory usually happens prior to going into a severe dissociative state.
Has anyone else ever dealt with this with their PTSD? Is something else wrong with me? I just don't have the answers.
