On going PTSD From 9-11   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2122 of 3160 |
Are any of you getting flashbacks from 9-11 and the pile from certain
smells in the air? I am and it brings back so many memories and recall
of people suffering after the attacks. Please let me know when you
can, I can't seem to shake the flashbacks one damn bit. Any thoughts
on how I can better deal with it? I currently reside in Arizona...


Thanks,

Rex
