Title: Flashbacks - a little confusion (Possible TW)
Post by: Limage on September 22, 2018, 11:32:00 AM
Not sure if this is the right part of the forum for my query.
Over many years I have had episodes of recurring depression and anxiety. I will label those periods as my 'unwell times'
I am in the middle of one of those periods now. It feels like every thought, every memory is a flashback and it is relentless. Am I getting the flashback idea wrong?

I can relate to a flashback in my 'well' times as a sort of one off type event with associated feelings which subside.
I don't feel very articulate around this as I am new to CPTSD.

Thanks
