normal life stuff...childhood trauma flashes...idk from where they are coming....and it seems I can't control them...or make them stop

What are your hobbies? You could try pursuing them and doing other activities you enjoy, so that your mind is occupied throughout the day. Also you could try talking about the trauma and your feelings if it helps

I tried talking about it for last four years...but the more I talk about it...the more vulnerable I feel.....for hobbies....i try to divert my mind but during reading book or playing chess...i always get flashes of embarrassing and horrible unwanted memories....i am also searching for a job for last few months...i am failing everytime...i have not decided to give up yet...but it's been really hard...

I'm glad you've decided not to give up. Your focus should be on securing a job at the earliest, as you'll have a duty assigned to you and for the entire day your mind will be occupied with work and you won't even have the time to have flashbacks. You don't have to talk about it .. keep yourself engaged and engrossed and happy.
