Hello AngelBobZed and Welcome to NeuroTalk.
When you make references to "flashes" I am guessing you are referring to flashbacks? You have alot going on, it must be very difficult for you
I am not familiar with healthcare in Scotland but if you are able to see a Psychotherapist h/she could be very helpful or is that what your nurses are?
There is another forum (part of NeuroTalk), Psych Central, which is a mental health forum, that you may also find helpful.
Here is the link to PsychCentral:
