The problem, as you describe it, sounds to me like PTSD. I was in 'Nam 67-68. When I got out of the Navy I thought I left everything behind me. It wasn't until I was around 40 years old that I started having nightmares and flashbacks. After many years of this my wife said I had to get help and soon. I went to a psychiatrist who determined after a few visits that I indeed had PTSD and should go to the VA for treatment. I was already getting a 10% disability for asbestosis so I was familiar with how the system worked. I went to a local Vet Center to see how I should proceed. They sent me for evaluation at the VA clinic. After much testing and working with a really great psychologist I learned how to cope with my feelings. I also go to bi-weekly group sessions at the Vet Center with other PTSD vets and that really helps when we can discuss how were coping. I'm also on meds so I can finally sleep all night. I just got my permanent disability rating of 100%. It's a long process to recovery. I've learned that, no matter how much I try, there's always something that can trigger a flashback. It's learning what to do about it that helps me.
Good luck in your healing...

My wife is deathly afraid of heights. I just showed her this pix and she let out a little scream and told me to take it away. She can't even look at it....
It is an Akhal-Teke. Look here : http://www.metaspoon.com/horse-beautiful/
More fascinating WWII history. I knew Berlin was heavily bombed but not to that extent. I also did not know about the decoy city. Now I've get to do some more research.
Thanks so much for the post..
Looking forward to it... :-D
