Zaine Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Datguy, relax, chill, you make it sound like having PTSD means you belong in a straight jacket and living in a padded cell. To me that is as bad as racism or sexism! You'd be supprised how many people you work with socialise with and connect with have PTSD or other similar issues!I suppose the best example of PTSD is Rambo or the Bourne Series and I bet you like watching them!you'll get over it, maybe get a bit of CBT councilling to help you cope with it and guess what only the people on here and your Doctor/Therapist will know unless YOU tell anyone else!!!I don't think he meant it the way you seem to have taken it. He was just trying to get more information on him.As for the original post: It's absolutely normal to experience this. With a situation like that it's really easy to imagine all the things that could have gone wrong so it's natural to play it out in your head for awhile because, to be perfectly honest, it's a scary moment. Since it has been so long you might want to go talk to a professional about it.

evergrey Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Doesn't sound like a flashback to me. Sounds like a reality check type event that really left an impression with you- it's normal and natural to think about that a lot.Use it as a reminder to take your training seriously, and you will be okay.That being said, CBT might not be a bad idea.OSU!(Speaking as someone with pretty severe PTSD, who gets flashbacks, it can be really bad, heh. Very very bad. Depends on the person and how their brain is affected and where they're at.) http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

datguy Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Don't mention it..it's cool. I know PTSD's nothing to be ashamed of but I'm just saying I dont have any of the symptoms. Maybe the title was misleading...It's not flashbacks so much as it is I catch myself going over it in my head very clearly. It's not daily or anything..just every so often if I'm just sitting around. “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.

Be water, my friend.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Maybe its just more like "replay" than flashback.Perhaps it replays because something about the whole thing nags at you, like the way you mentioned how it started. Just use that as a tool, evaluate it, and then work on fixing it. Let it be that gentle reminder. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
