Flashbacks OR: Painful memories? If you have unhappy memories or thoughts cropping up - talk with a friend, relative or pastor. If this is not helping sufficiently consider seeing a therapist to work through and past this. Take care.

I agree with : Dr fowler. If you are having flashbacks, it must have been a pretty traumatic break up. You may want to consider emdr (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) which is very helpful for reprocessing traumatic life events.
