Can anyone describe what PTSD flashbacks are truly like?

I'm hoping to better understand PTSD and its symptoms, particularly flashbacks. I've heard the term used before, but I'd love to hear from those who have experienced them firsthand or supported someone going through this. What are PTSD flashbacks actually like? How do they affect your daily life? #PTSD #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #MentalHealth

Flashbacks can be incredibly challenging. They're like vivid, intrusive memories that transport you back to the traumatic event. It's as if you're reliving it all over again, and they can happen suddenly, without warning. #PTSD #StressManagement

Flashbacks can affect people in different ways. For some, they might experience intense fear, anxiety, or sadness. Some people may also have physical reactions, like rapid heartbeat or sweating. It's important to remember that these feelings are temporary and will pass. #CopingStrategies #MentalHealth
