I get a lot of flashbacks of times of my life in the past.
Most of my flashbacks are of my step-dad. He passed away about a year and a half ago of natural causes. I live normally and it usually doesn't bug me but lately it has been making me extremely depressed. I know this is odd since it's been almost 2 years but it still has a great affect on me, even though he wasn't a primary figure in my life.
I suffer from severe anxiety, and it has gotten worse since this tragic event. I have come to a conclusion that this is because he was always making things easier and making me laugh everything off. Now, there is no one in my life that is able to do the same.
I know flashbacks are normal but I get them constantly. When I put his picture on my dresser the other day, I had a dream.. I relived the whole moment where he passed, and also the funeral. I don't know what else to do. Some say it's a good thing I have flash backs because it allows me to see him, but it just makes me miss him more. Whenever I pass by something I remember with him in it, I get flashbacks and I start to have a panic attack. His death still doesn't seem real to me.. Is there anything I can do to stop this or to get over this?
