Can a trigger be hours before a flashback? Or is it usually immediate? What have your experiences been? Yesterday my Mother-in-Law was over and started badmouthing my Father-in-Law. They recently separated and I am very close to both of them. Well, hours later I had an emotional flashback...

Sorry you are going through this. i often vomit when anxious. it stops with valium or ativan.

So is the feeling of shame and emotional flashback?

I haven't read all the replies, but I wanted to say you aren't alone. He is very triggering for me too. My T said a lot of people are having a really hard time and are being triggered by this election. Please just know you are not alone.

Without making this post forever long, I will try to explain. I have believed since about the age of 16 that I may have been sexually abused in some form. I have memories that don't make sense to me but don't necessarily point to abuse. They can all be explained away individually but...

Do you have an HR dept? I would talk to someone there. That shouldn't be happening. BTW, was the disaster Matthew? I just went through that.

Ever since hurricane matthew i have been waking up at least ever 1 to 2 hours every night. 1 of my traumas was hurricane Ivan in 2004, so matthew was a big trigger. When i wake up, i know i have been dreaming and may have a very vague memory of the nightmare, but i cant really remember it...

I am in the process too. I have a ssi advocate and they say it should come through though i will likely get denied first.
