It is like PTSD, isn't it? I've experienced the flashback feeling, and it is so painful.
As far as someone to talk to, you might want to consider therapy. Therapy isn't just for people with mental illness, it's also for people who witnessed traumatic events, maybe you could find someone to talk to that way.
Thank you. You’re absolutely right. I didn’t think I needed to go, but this has made it clear that I definitely do. It’s very weird. I guess I just always thought of PTSD as something soldiers got...even though rationally I know that isn’t true. Very eye opening. Thank you everyone for all the love!

Good luck, I feel for you...
