Hi Sue
I sometimes have old memories and such drifting seemingly out of nowhere, but at the same time, I don't find them distressing.

It's hard to tell unless you give a little more detail, but that's a common complaint of depersonalisation/derealisation, which is a common symptom of anxiety.
There has been many posts on the subject, so it may be worth your while doing a search, you may find you can relate to some of people's experiences.

Im the same as Mico. I must admit I didnt know it could be to do with depersonalisation/derealisation. So Ive learnt something new:D

Keep focused, keep positive.
Hey, when my anxiety was at its worst, I used to get sudden memories /mostly from my childhood/ and flashbacks all the time. Things that I didn't even think I could have possibly remembered, very small details ect. were coming back to me. I also used to get very vivid, realistic dreams and sometimes I couldn't shake the atmosphere of a certain dream all day long. I'm sure it was due to the anxiety.
I even posted a topic on the subject:

Don't worry about it too much, when your anxiety subsides the flashbacks will stop.
Take care
Hi Sue
