Flashbacks from Black-outs
At some point during times that I have been sober, I will have continuous flash-backs of what I'm pretty sure are moments during a black-out that I've had in the recent past.
It's like recalling parts of a dream later in the day that you've forgotten when you woke up that morning.
Sometimes they only pop up a couple of times a week, but the past few days it's been non-stop and it's really starting to freak me out. The flash-backs are very similar to the intrusive thoughts I have from my OCD, and I'm starting to wonder if they're becoming related.
There is one in particular that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. It came shortly after I had lost my wallet (and my favorite one so far) after accidentally dropping it on the street and I have this recurring image of a guy approaching me at a bar and asking me if I had lost my wallet and he went on to say that he recognized me from the photo on my ID that was inside. I don't know if that really happened one night while I was in a black-out at that bar or if it was a dream. Anyway, it's really freaky and frustrating.
Just one more reason that drinking can have such terrifying consequences.
Does this happen to anyone else?
