I was raped close to two years ago, and this caused me to spiral down into a deep depression. While I was depressed, memories of the experience were vague and honestly not drawn up very often. Well, now I've finally am feeling like the depression is subsiding, but with that are coming flashbacks and more memories in greater detail. Is this normal?

yes, i think it's normal... i kind of do the opposite... i have flashbacks and memories... that trigger panic attacks and then depression... it's kind of circular... i know when it happens it is really hard... stay safe...lyn

i think so , too. the depression probably acted like something keeping everything far away from you. your mind won't deal with the info until it's ready - which means it's probably ready now.
try to stay safe and have help looking at the info - have support people and/or a t for the flashbacks. if you can deal with it now, you won't have to push it down and have it again later...

My Father left the family just as if it were all
there before we could tell him anything or ask of him
that perhaps he could talk or think to say, " you know
along time ago when............." Oh ya Dad, look at
my drawing its me and you a...............Bye. See ya
sometime, be good.
