TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
for decades after my eventful childhood, I suffered from night terrors.
Apparently I had managed to bury my memories deep enough they could only come out when I was asleep.
After I started therapy, the situation reversed. I stopped having nightmares and started having flashbacks instead.
I can't really say which way is worse . . .

The difference
Unlike Nightmares, we can feel immediately more stable with flashbacks, because we're surrounded by the reality of the here and now. We are more grounded in the midst of chaos. Not easy by any stretch of the imagination. But more 'doable' as time goes on. Plus, knowing what triggers us makes us more capable. Not necessarily to avoid triggers but to be prepared for what might ensue.
I am so proud of you!

I suffer from them, too
I suffer from them, too. And I can say that it's not at all enjoyable to suffer through either one--a night terror or an
actual flashback. In fact, in some ways the flashbacks are even worse to experience. My heart goes out to you.
Be strong.

Have you ever been on
Have you ever been on prazosin (minipress)? It's off label for ptsd and the only reason I can sleep
A Combination
I do have flashbacks, usually at night when I'm sleeping, but somehow I know and they don't turn into nightmares.
