flashbacks
 

how do you stop flashbacks i have a really bad one right now and i have had it for almost a whole day...it started last night and hasnt relented yet....

OK, I'm going to have a go at answering your question. I think that you should focus on getting through the flashbacks when they do happen, by trying to ground yourself (holding on to a pillow, physically sitting on the ground) and get through them. That, or try to stay in a safe place, somewhere where you feel comfortable and secure.

Have a look at http://www.mental-health-matters.com....php?artID=154 ? I don't know of how much use it will be to you, it came up on google when I had a nosey.

I also suggest contacting http://www.samaritans.org.uk/ Samaritans or a rape crisis http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/.

Stay safe and take care.

my flashbacks are about the two suicide attempts i witnessed....

I have flashbacks a lot too. They're of mostly bed dreams and relaspses. Try distracting yourself with some of the fun distractions on the site or even just closing your eyes and listening to music. You might want to try listening to classical music since it's so complicated. Happy things!! good luck. feel free to PM me anytime if you need ANYTHING!!!
