Dealing with Vivid Flashbacks at Work

how do you deal with sudden vivid flashbacks while you're working? I feel like it slows me down and makes me a million times less productive, I don't want to share what I'm going through with my co-workers but the flashbacks are becoming increasingly vivid and increasing in frequency and I'm at the point where I feel like I should tell at least my manager but IDK I need advice

You do not have to share details or your diagnosis to anyone. Let your manager know that you have an issue that is protected under the ADA and what you need for accommodation, such as every so often stepping aside to take a breather.

It depends on what job your doing but in general outside situations, sour candy and counting/math helps me

My therapist told me to take a whiff of peppermint because it helps ground you.
