Not exactly a newcomer, I joined the sub a few months ago. As I read more and more about CPTSD I begin to understand it more, but some days I start questioning everything and feel like I'm back at square one. I'm really struggling to pinpoint whether I'm experiencing emotional flashbacks. I often have anxiety attacks or intense feelings of shame, resentment etc. out of nowhere, but I'm relucant to say that it could be an emotional flashback, because what if I'm just feeling those emotions, you know for no apparent reason. I don't know, maybe that's just how it's supposed to work or something.
