Is This A Normal Flashback, Can Anyone Relate?

[ala]

ive only had one flashback that I would describe as severe but it scared the f*cking shit out of me.
I have some ptsd from being molested as a kid. the one bad flashback I had I felt like it was happening again and couldn't stop crying and telling him to stop, felt like I would do anything to make it stop, and I felt like it wasn't my voice that was talking and crying and shit. just couldn't stop crying and saying no, but I didn't feel like it was me talking or crying at the same time. has anyone else ever experienced a flashback like this?

I've only had a few fb's myself but I tend to freeze, go mute and dissociate. This may be because during my abuse that is exactly how I coped at the time. However, I have had other emotional experiences where I wasn't have a fb but I was hearing myself cry and say things outside of my control. It is frightening and real.

Yes, I totally can relate. I feel like whatever my trauma was, was happening all over again. I reacted and then couldn't stop doing what I was doing and it was like I was mute. As to the voice part, yes to that too. I hear a different voice than the voice that came out of the person who did abuse me. As for my own voice, I don't know. I was never able to tell the person to stop and I was not allowed to cry out loud, so all I remember is someone else's voice and that doesn't match either. I can totally relate though, in some ways. You're not alone!

ala, I had this happen to me when I had a memory play out. I was crying and when I spoke, I could hear myself. My voice sounded just like a tiny child. The voice of maybe a 4-5 year old crying and trying to tell mommy.

I had a bad flash back today when I was sitting in my back garden. I could smell a bar-b-q going, which was fine, until they started to cook pork?

The smell of the cooking pork took me right back to a horrible scene from many years ago. When we arrived at road accident where there was a car on fire with three youngsters in the back, they were trapped, and.........................well you can imagine the rest?

It still haunts me to this day, especially if I hear someone screaming...........

Smells can be a strong trigger for me also.
