Flashbacks

Flashbacks were not invented in Hollywood, and actual flashbacks don't come with CGI. Flashbacks can be anything from a vivid memory that just seems present, to "feelings" that hit you for no reason; feelings that you don't own, but your mind is trying to make you own them.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

No one returns from war unchanged. Everyday, feelings of guilt, that you've done something wrong attack you while, in the back of your mind, you just know that something is about to go horribly wrong. Everyday for the rest of your life. Though this is written by a combat vet, women in abusive relationships or who've been raped will see themselves within these paragraphs.
