what to do?

I haven;t posted here in a while usually in chronic pain but i guess this is the place to be so here it goes. I need reassurance from others who have gone through the same thing don;t get me wrong my husband is great and supportive. I have mild flashbacks awake and asleep, i can remember certain parts of my past as far back as sure now i cannnot because i thinking about it, severe back pain like someone has stuck a knife in me and won't come out, kids are constantly fighting and hubby lost his job. I am on meds but lately seem to be out of balance and very tired. Some crap at work too it's been very intense. I was suppose to have an appointment with my doc on the 13th but it was cancelled by them because of an emergancy so i have to wait until June not very far away but far enough. The pysch doc wants me to go on serouquel to help me sleep at night 25mgs but so far i haven;t maybe it;s time. Anyway thanks for letting me vent. I want to know that there are others out there that have had flashbacks and past stuff how to deal with it so it;s not entering my mind. Twiggy2.

Do you think that it could be ptsd? Are the flashbacks bad things? Or just memories of the past? I would talk to a therapist about how to handle that. Depending on what the memories are.

Let us know. I hope that you feel better soon. Sometimes stressors can cause this to happen. But like I say it depends on what the memories are about. You have a lot on your plate right now. This could be a way of your mind trying to escape. Either way, you need to talk to a therapist to sort things out.

Keep us posted and we are here for you.

Luv and hugs, Karen

Thank you all for replying, sometimes the memories are not pleasant and sometimes they are. I had counselling before and maybe i should return if only for a while until things straighten out, I have been dianosed with PTSD, Anxiety, and depression. I take 100mgs of Zoloft once daily and clonazapam 0.5mgs 4 times daily as needed. I have become some what good at redirecting my thoughts and focusing on calming affirmations and deep breathing. However not always works. I am going to start trying the seroquel i do not handle well with side affects of certain meds and usually have to stop taking them. But it may be worth a shot. Anyway again thanks and I will keep in touch more often just coming here and talking helps. I started to keep a journal and it was helpful too but by accident it got deleted from the computer so i will start a new one. Take care all and hope you are doing well and i will try to be here for your support as well if needed. Twiggy2
