Hi my t says I have ptsd, anxiety and mild agrophobia. I think I get emotional flashbacks. I wrote about what I was experiencing on another form and someone said about them so I've looked into it and it described how I felt exactly and in fact reading about how to manage them and doing that has made me feel calmer. My past is csa and there was also a lot of issues between me and my mum and still are. Can you have emotional flashbacks with ptsd. I don't think I fit cptsd as I don't think my symptoms are bad enough even though I fit some of the boxes for it. Thank you

YES, one can experience a lot of emotional flashbacks when they suffer from PTSD. This can also be the case with other diagnoses like depression and other anxiety disorders. A lot of people think that their experiences are not bad enough to warrant a ptsd diagnoses, but there really is no true measure when it comes to a "bad enough" when it comes to PTSD. The point is that something was bad enough in your life/past where you developed the sensitivity that PTSD presents.
