" I have flashbacks almost every night. It's the pits. I just try and keep myself busy and I'm careful about what I watch on tv. I'm like another person during the day, more stress free. You'd think nothing ever happened to me. I'm together. But when it starts getting dark, watch out, I'm like a scared little kid. I just try and hold my head up high, do alot of self-talk in my head, and tell myself over and over again that I'm safe. Some nights are better than others. But it's still better than it used to be. I wish you the best. "

" I replay conversations or parts of them and sometimes wake up thinking about things that were said to me. I can do this numerous times during the day. Sometimes many times during an hour. What has worked for me when I can just accept it and let go of resisting the pattern. "
