I live with flashbacks. These come from a variety of ways such as from work (why I can't sleep right now) to childhood. I'm not diagnosed with ptsd but wonder if that's a symptom of it and how to get professional help.

@culnutmeg

if you look it up PTSD is listed as a possibility.  counseling or therapy may help. if that is not possible at the moment maybe writing what you have flashbacks about down and think if there is a connection. 

I have vivid dreams of past events, and I see sometimes I did not learn from situations. 

My current situation is somewhat a repeat so I can reinforce the lesson I should have learned to handle last time.   example is being too willing to put off my things so others can do things. I have/ had a dentist appointment and now a co-worker is going out of town. I made appointment to avoid their time off then they changed   so my dentist appointment will need to wait.  it is just the 2 of us to cover. but i seldom if EVER get the same consideration. I was semi mad and had one of those vivid dreams about another time when other felt all my stuff can wait attitude.  reminding myself that my schedule is important too.
