Need Help, Having Violent Flashbacks.

[ShadowSolace]

Well, I've had PTSD for about 5 years. While I'm almost fully recovered from the verbal abuse I've suffered because I decided those who verbally attacked me were illogical morons,(chronic bullying) I've also survived both physically violent circumstances (s*xual abuse, bullying gone bad)and one near death experience and one car accident. I keep having flashbacks of the violent things I've been through and it's taking a huge toll on me mentally and physically and I'm still waiting to get a new psychiatrist. I've taken care of myself best I can (I've been on Xanax and Wellbutrin for the longest time, and use my own set of coping skills)but I need some advice and insight, please.

I truly recommend starting a trauma diary on here, or in a personal ntoebook and similar, it does help.
I'm sorry for all that you've gone through, the more coping skills the better, grounding techniques and similar are a must (though I myself haven't much knowledge still, it's sometimes hard).

Sending hugs :hug: Come over to chat sometime, you can learn a lot there from many members :)

What happens to you physically when you flashback in this way?

I get dizzy, my head and stomach hurts and i feel very faint. I feel physically ill and like I'm dying.
