    Other Religious Sacrifice?

    I'm feeling a little empty right now. Last night I KNEW that I was going to have a flashback. I felt it coming on like a sneeze. I recall having an inability to think about anything positive, a lot of confusion, and a heap of terror. I don't really remember much else. When I get flashbacks...
