Quote: I am now becoming familiar with flashbacks, obsessions, dreams, etc.
Yep the random thoughts are killer. They do get to be less. There are lots of "tricks" to stop the thoughts. Keeping busy is a good one (my house has never been so clean), like actually saying "Stop" outloud (dont try this in public) to make yourself stop. thinking about it does not help you get over it, it only makes it worse. I was plauged by random thoughts for about a month then they kinda slowed down. For me what hurt more than actual physicial A was the lying that lead up to it. I now dwell on that more than anything. Take an hour or so and go to a big book store and read a few of the self help books on A's they are full of ways to stop the thoughts. If my mind gets away from me & I'm out in public I pick someone and try to figure out what they do. For me its all about distraction until I can come to terms with it. good luck and go read some self help books they help.
