I don’t really know where to post this.
A couple of years ago, my dog was killed by one of my other dogs while I was out. I was only gone a couple of hours, and I was the one who found her. It was awful and traumatic.
Even now two years later, I will sometimes get images of it come into my head, or replay the moment I found her, or other bits of it all. It’s like a video starts playing in my head, I can’t control it or switch it off and I didn’t press play, it just came on out of nowhere. Sometimes I can shake it off or distract myself, others times I struggle to clear it out of my head, it will sometimes make me cry, it will stop me from sleeping, sometimes it will send me down a rabbit hole of upsetting thoughts.
How can I get it to stop? I was prescribed fluoxetine which worked for a few months, until it didn’t. I can’t bear to keep seeing my lovely, beautiful dog like this in my mind anymore.
