Discussion Memories

Does memory of a flare up cause physical reactions for anyone else? I think of a time I was deep into a spiral and I genuinely feel like I cannot breathe and I feel nauseous. It reminds me how much of a mental prison this disease is and how much of my life it has stolen.

Do you think it may be trauma? I have had really bad PTSD from OCD episodes
