I know they happen more when I am stressed, or when something is making it's way to my conscious awareness. In the recent past, I have had a T to reach out to when they got this bad. Right now, I don't have anyone I trust to call. Generally, there isn't anything that helps them anyway, but calling my former T at least gave her a heads-up that I was really struggling...
I ended up contacting RAINN's online chat, that kinda helped. But they can only stay with you for so long...

Hugs to you!
You are not alone -- I am struggling with this now too. Sometimes it is helpful to remember that they are "just" memories, or imagine a comforting presence with me.

They are already starting up again today and I just woke up. I don't know how to sit with them for another day. In the end, they always bring with them more disturbing memories and full flashbacks. There's no one safe to sit through that with. There's no one safe to tell about it... :/ I know they are just memories, but they hurt as if they were real.

I called the crisis line twice yesterday and the lady sat I the phone with me for a while both times. I felt like I was wasting so much of her time. Nothing seems to be helping much. I took some ativan and it helps mute the flashbacks, but they are still there. And now I feel all spacey from the med...
does anyone else have trouble with flashbacks that just don't stop? How do you get them to stop? |
