Do you ever have sudden flashbacks of childhood trauma?

Yes...there were so many years of trauma that it became permeated inside of me, always there. I live as if I barely exist, the trauma events became my identity...broken, shattered, poison. So that I feel I am not human some days. It is a horrible feeling.

not flash backs but I used to have a lot of nightmares reliving some of it.
ohh and if i ever get scent of a certain horrible smell that is like a dead animal and strong body odor mixed together (what the abusers smelt like) it makes me relive it but not in a flashback type of way

Yes

No. I rarely think of my childhood and stopped looking at pics of me when young. Feels too weird dont like it

Yes I grew up in a dysfunctional home

Yes. I go through periods of time when I’m free and clear of my childhood trauma and the people who perpetrated it on me. And then when the memories do come back I’m as traumatized again over and over in crushing waves.

Luckily no.

All the time these past few years. A song, a scent, the scene in a tv show or movie and wham it hits you.

I have flashbacks of the way I felt.

Yes.

Yes

Yes and it can really suck when it’s the physical or sexual abuse I went through.

Sorry you go through this too.

Yes, I often awake in the night with a 'free-falling' feeling which began when I was 10 years old after accidentally riding a motorized minibike off a 50 foot cliff at the back of our farm property. I landed inverted in the shallow water of the lake shoreline below the cliff which has a sandy beach with no stone.
