Types Of Flashbacks

[frustrated!]

I'm new. Can someone explain to me the different types of flashbacks? Can someone tell me why this forum is so difficult to post a thread? I have gotten two warnings on grammar. Even after using the spell check program they recommend.

Hi Frustrated.

Unfortunately, just like every other member, you will continue to get warning/infractions until you follow the basic rules. You can look at the rules via the FAQs in the 'Articles' section. There is also a video to view about [DLMURL="http://www.ptsdforum.org/threads/13907-Why-Grammar-Punctuation-Spelling-And-Title-Rules-Exist-Video"]grammar and punctuation[/DLMURL].

Until you are approved as a member by the admins, you can only post in the 'new members' area. Currently there may be a delay on that approval, since the admins are on holiday. [DLMURL]http://www.ptsdforum.org/threads/16530-Delay-In-New-Member-Processing-Week-3-10-Oct[/DLMURL]

If you have further questions, please post them in the 'Ask The Editors' section, which you have access to.

Nobody has responded regarding flashbacks, so I will.

If you suffer from CPTSD, you likely suffer from emotional flashbacks. This is one of the symptoms that differentiates PTSD from CPTSD. I don't think I can post the link here, but google "Pete Walker emotional flashbacks" and you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about emotional flashbacks. His information has literally saved my life. Such invaluable information.

As for visual flashbacks, I haven't got a clue since I don't suffer from them... Hopefully someone else will be able to fill you in on them.

Hugs.

The 'emotional flashbacks' must be part of what I go through as well. I've never read up on those before so the information is much appreciated seeing as I just had a screaming fit after a very, shall we say unpleasant outcome with a business I have been dealing with for months. I can certainly see where going from zero to gazillion may not be the norm. Also the zoning out to TV or my mind will go mad with the audios in my head.

I do get the visual flashbacks but never figured in nightmares to be pieces of the puzzle only messages from my subconscious letting me know where I am, was, or going. I will need to rethink a few things.
