Hi there I suffer terribly from flash backs literally hundreds a day they make me cry so I spend every day crying before I go out when I’m home and especially at night I have been told you can get help but I don’t believe anyone can stop your thoughts especially when flash backs take you to exactly what and where they took place they are gut wrenching

Mine are this bad at times they also manifest in my dreams
The thing I stick with is therapy. But at times focusing on trauma therapy was too much and overwhelming so I work on many things. Have you tried EMDR? Or any therapy?
Mindfulness work and grounding are helpful to bring you to the present. But I understand that snowball affect in your head, like a thick ptsd fog you cannot shake from. Exposure therapy and figuring out triggers and managing them can help. Dbt therapy helped me understand unhealthy ways of thinking. Group therapy is also good if you can find it.
Medication can help manage stress and depression but everyone's different.
I understand how awful cptsd and flashbacks can dominate your mind and shatter your nerves. I hope you can find some relief in something and feel free to message me if you want.

You are 100% right. I cannot control the thoughts in my head that are there all the time. Therapists say, let it go, forget about what happened that caused you to spiral downwards. Yeah, right, if I could do that, I would be a miracle worker.
