I have bad memories pop in my head all the time. Don’t think this is a psychotic symptom

Just bad memories. Don’t even think this is illness - reckon loads of neurotypicals have this. Is the human condition

I too don’t know if it’s the illness or not. Bad memories would haunt me constantly, refreshing, replaying and reliving it daily… Can be very disabling, bothersome and frustrating. After starting Parnate it’s gone for like 80%

What’s Parnate?

It’s one of the oldest antidepressant in the class of MAOI’s. Can be dangerous (you have to follow a special diet, “tyramine-poor diet”) but it’s very potent. Usually the last resort of pdocs, if other class antidepressants don’t work.

I have ptsd and it’s like my brain made a highlight wheel of all the worst parts of my life and likes to replay it over and over. So I feel the struggle :disappointed:

I have ptsd so I have vivid flashbacks. Tbh I kind of wonder if my flashbacks are made worse by my hallucinations.

I get this too and the memories are really vivid. Most are bad memories but sometimes they are good memories.

Could be obsessive thoughts. I had to take Zoloft to stop mine many years ago

I was on nardil before and remember feeling pretty good on it but im not sure how much of it was due to not being on an Antipsychotic at the time. The insomnia was really bad too. Im thinking of asking for selegiline.

I get this when I start going to sleep for the night. As @anna says it’s like a highlight reel of all the crap things.

I call mine intrusive thoughts and they take a large part of my daily life.
