vanman1 411 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yeah had flash backs for quite a few years and occasionally still get them after 20 years ,myself now they dont bother me i may have 1 or 2 a year but at first lots of situations/sights/ sounds etc could set them off and it was very realistic and distressing. Ive had lots of intense counciling and ive learnt to live with my situation to the point that it no longer distreses me.You need proffesional help to ever really come to terms with an incedent of that magnitude and there is no shame addmitting it. Ive been around the block and very little fazes me, il be a good match for any man,but were all wired differently and some times you just gotta admit you need help .Took me a couple of years to realize that as i felt weak/failure etc especially being the type of person i was but without help id still be f****d today Good luck to you and it does get better 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
