I get flashbacks from my car fire
Everyone once in a while I have sensory flashbacks to when I accidentally set my car on fire about two years ago. It's happening right now. I feel like I smell smoke, but I know I it's probably not happening. I have nothing that could be smoking in here.
Sometimes I even see smoke. Last time this happened at this apartment, I thought I saw smoke come out of the air vent. Obviously that didn't actually happen. Once it happened at work, and I knew for sure it wasn't possible that something was actually on fire. Dissociated like crazy, no panic attack thankfully. It's freaky. I have other PTSD stuff as I've discussed all over this forum, but this smoke thing is shitty because theoretically there could be a fire and I seriously can't tell. |

I thought your car fire was kinda beneficial? didn't you get paid out?

actual smoke/burning smells just make it worse unfortunately. i feel like i have to look at them constantly to make sure they aren't setting something on fire.

I had someone crash into the back of my truck a couple of years ago when I was at a stop light. I still have these episodes from time to time where I feel anxiety rush through me, then I feel the impact of it.. and then I can smell the weed they were smoking in their car.

i have flashbacks about trauma stuff but as long as i can keep some assemblance of the date or w/e... i usually can logically know that stuff isn't actually happening now and the chance that my ex-bf is in my vicinity is extremely small.
this fire thing just drives me crazy because there could really be a fire, and i can't trust my senses |

i thought i was fine after cambodia. i mean i know i wasn't fine but i got by and functioned and kinda just moved on from all of it.
then when i was in bali this summer i saw a toddler get hit by a motorbike right infront of me. i had a crazy flashback and kinda went numb. the kid was fine, everything was fine. and i thought i'd just walk away and that would be it. but my body was like nope i'm going to make this suck. i ended up getting sick and puking all night and into the next day. then, when i thought it had blown over, i had a 3 hour drive down the mountain in crazy traffic and it brought everything back. it was like a 3 hour panic attack and when we got there i crashed in my bed. i was so exhausted from being tense in the car that i had a fever and my body was spent. brains are weird. i saw a homeopath about it shortly after. he gave me some drops for a bit and i've noticed a heap of difference. i can ride in cars without being petrified now. |

yeah.. and the power of suggestion. A. came home the other day and said she felt nauseated. I'm like.. oh boy, here we go. I don't want stomach flu to happen to us! I got so worried about it I actually felt like I was coming down with it.

that's what I do when I hear nearby gunfire at work. I judge my level of concern on how other people are responding. screams and a lot of vehicular traffic mean red alert time
