Is it just remembering an event, usually negative, that happened in the past, or is it like reliving the experience, a sympton of an illness such as PTSD?

Yeah, people say "I get flashbacks" but I think about bad **** that happened in the past all the time.

I don't harbour too much guilt, mainly over the whole Toni thing.
