(Sorry if this isn’t the right place but I felt I might be able to get the right input here as well) 

I feel like I’ve been dealing with brief/minor flashbacks recently, but I’m not sure because of how they’ve been shown in media.  It’s not like I do a 360 spin and everything will be different, but more so if a trigger word/situation happens, it feels like a filter drops in front of my eyes, and I’m seeing a past memory overtop of the real world.  So like for example, something traumatic happened in my old dorm room.  Every so often, if something reminds me of it, I find myself freezing up, having the flashback thing happen, then coming back to reality.  So if I was sitting looking at the ocean, it’s like I’d still see and recognize I’m on a beach, but mentally it’s almost like watching a dream for like 1-2 seconds before I’ll snap out.  But I think I ask my question because I’m not sure if this is just like having a memory or whatever, or genuine flashbacks, so I thought I’d just seek additional input
