Flashbacks of Rape (help) - March 4th 2011, 01:48 AM

Hello,

Been having a lot of issues with flashbacks right now and could really use some advice. I'm/was diagnosed with PTSD and I have been raped twice in my life. I would like some help for the flashbacks and maybe some advice for my friends so they know what to do when I go into a flashback.

When I start to go into a flashback, I feel like I am getting raped again, can feel his breath on my face, his hands, and like I'm being held down again, all the physical and mental aspects of how I felt when I was getting raped come back.

Among many things, my body kind of spasms, and having hard time breathing, and for some reason can't keep my eyes open, and I keep shaking, and after words I feel very weak and dizzy.


I really need advice. New to this whole getting help thing.

Thanks,

Sarah
