hi,
I keep getting horrible, confusing, and sometimes vivid flashbacks of an event in my life, the thing is i dont remember any of this happening yes i remember the event but not what im getting in the flashbacks. It came out of nowere really vivid at first and now is toning down , could this be ptsd or am i just going crazy?
i do suffer from depression and i have a lot of issues in my past
id be grateful for any insight

Hi Lashy
Maybe you need to go and talk to someone about these flashbacks. I tell everyone who posts here [you will see my name all over this PTSD board] to find a PTSD therapist, they have ways to get the event out and for you to sort it out.
I think our brains can only hold onto trauma for so long then it want's to come out, maybe this is what is happening to you? You don't have to live with these flashbacks.
I have had depression my whole life and didn't realize it until I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004 at that point, I realized that I have suffered with it for ever, and alot has to do with my own trauma, that I have dealt with. There are always 2 sides, the side that you just live with it, and maybe it will go away, or the side where you take care of yourself and get some help.
Hope this helps
