I no longer get flashbacks, or not in the way i used to. I don't know if what i occasionally experience now are flashbacks in the true sense of the word or just more anxiety/panic attacks.
The flashbacks i used to get would have me right back in the situation both physically and mentally. Sometimes I'd be floating above watching but unable to do anything to stop what was happening, it was always in colour and was incredibly difficult to come out of.
Now I sometimes get triggers it's usually a noise such as someone whistling that sets me off, it depends on the situation I'm in as to how much it effects me, if I'm in a situation where I'm likely to feel trapped and can't easily get away such as being on public transport, I'll become very anxious and more often then not angry and want to lash out or scream, neither of which i do except in my own head. Thankfully I've learned techniques to deal with some of these triggers and to calm myself down before i get completely immersed in the feeling.
