Question:
: I have tried to post a few times. I can’t seem : to do it. If this works, I just wanted to write : about feeling flashbacks come without any "real" : memory attached to it. Can anyone relate to this? yeah, i can relate really strongly to this. i have very clear memories of most of what i survived, but i’ve recently been working through another layer of emotion, and i’ve been getting flashbacks of feeling. like terror, or pain, or humiliation, not attached to any specific memory, more a memory of the feeling, i guess. i don’t have any large periods of repressed memories. i do have some patchy amnesia because of my dissociative disorder, but there are no great stretches missing. : I have been overwhelmed in the past weeks with : emotional memories, where I feel terror and can : talk about what is happening but I still am not : "remembering" in the sense I am used to. I do : have about seven years of repressed memories and I : don’t know if I can honestly feel real about what : is happening to me now. Does this make sense to : anyone. personally, i think it’s just another layer of recovery. whether or not you recover actual memories, i think the emotions are there. for me, it has been much easier to remember the events than what i felt during them, so this is kind of progress. even though it feels like shit. yes, you make sense to me. silverleaf — — These here are *my* opinions.

I have many years of repressed memories, most of my childhood, even the good stuff (there must have been some good stuff). It makes allot of sense to me. Eterna

Hi Everyone: I saw a spot on Lifetime TV talking about how some insurance companies and HMOs want to increase the premium for survivors of domestic violence. This seems like an unfair way of combating the problem. These survivors need mental and physical help to get the healing process begun. I have PTSD from a violent childhood, and have to deal with the hassle of it everyday. The web site is lifetimetv.com and the petition only takes a minute. Check it out. Thanks for reading. Delvia
