Hi there,
I can give you plenty of understanding. I hate that word too. I was abused for 5 years as a young child. You are having symptoms of PTSD. I know this because I have it. I'm 35 now but I went through alot before the flashbacks went away. But they WILL go away. I hate the word "time" also because that's simply what it takes. It also takes being patient with yourself.
My symptoms were extreme and I can relate to what you are saying. If you aren't in therapy, it is a good idea to go. I have been through a group specializing in trauma. It was a 2 week course and it helped me alot. Try researching for one of those. I was inpatient when I went through it but it was worth it.
20 years old is a rough age. I remember that time for me. Everything seemed to come to the surface and I had no idea how to handle it.
I will pray for you and I hope some of the advice will help.
much love.
xxxxxxxxxx
