Ever have sudden deja vu or memory flashback when having severe anxiety?

when I'm highly stressed and anxious, once in a great while I will have a sudden memory flashback of something  maybe somebody said  in the past or some events or even a weird feeling from the past. It's hard to explain .   

 it just kind of freaks me out when it happens. I was just wondering if anybody else has had that happen.  Maybe it's my brain in high gear from the anxiety? Just not sure   

Like a ruminating thought kind of thing? I think thats common with anxiety. Lightly remind yourself it is in the past and forgive yourself if it didnt olay out as you wished it had. Everything happens the way it should for reasons unknown to us at this time. I do believe it will all make sense one day and for whatever reasin we all chose this journey but imwill say i will never choose anything like this again haha. I think in all fairness it would be nice to be able to acquire solace and refuge from this somehow but i dint know how to get that. Bad enough to have anxiety or whatever this really is and many have ailments as well just all seems like a lot to handle. 

Yes Jan this happens to me pretty often. I have noticed though it's when my anxiety is up. And it's very weird, it can be something from years and years ago!

I've experienced it too and it is weird.  Glad to come across your question.

Yep I get it in the afternoon a 1 sec flash of a past dream lol

Hello. I used to have flash backs and painful memories of past abuse by family. I had to take time off work to see a therapist and a doctor because this was becoming a dangerous situation at work. I worked outdoors with animals and certain scents or smells made me panic. I decided to stay at home and write books where it's safe.
