I am not sure this is the correct category or not but this is something I have not been able to find much information on. I don't know how normal this is but is happening more and more to me. I have military flashbacks and it is normal for me to not realize the present occurred. What has happened is I get confused afterwards as well not realizing the present has occurred not knowing where or when I am. Then sometimes when I learn when it is I don't understand why I am in the army after my ETS date (still not remembering discharge and having a recent military experience). It always takes time and this has started to happen with some nightmares as well. My doctor thinks my flashbacks might be having a seizure like effect as an explanation. I am not so sure that is the case but it does seem to be making me more irritable as it occurs more. Does this happen to other people? What do you know about it? What research has been done? What is it called? What are your experiences if any? Just wanting input.
