https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/trauma-causing-fake-trauma-causing-trauma-huh/m-p/122442#M4404 Hi, can anyone share with me any experience about flash memories. Images that feel real but not sure it is real. I have had disturbing images since I was 9, they come and go throughout the years and a few others that are different as far as faces go but still are disturbing are popping up. Stress triggers it a recent breakdown proved that, but this is becoming stressful too. It affects a family member and myself so that's why it's upsetting. I am bipolar 2. When asked during assessment, did I have delusional thoughts I said no. I already told my boss I had bipolar 2, as a pharmacist she was well aware of bipolar 1 and its symptoms and delusional thoughts or hearing voices I felt,would lose a bit of support from her, I would become more unpredictable and unstable. That's why I no longer work. But I haven't known anyone with bipolar 1. I am booked in to see psych and are scared I will be placed on more medication. Please share if you have this condition, thanks Tue, 22 Dec 2015 08:08:17 GMT Anroca78 2015-12-22T08:08:17Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/trauma-causing-fake-trauma-causing-trauma-huh/m-p/122442#M4404 Hi, can anyone share with me any experience about flash memories.
