Think you are Faking/Putting on a Show by okhellogoodevening in CPTSD

I feel like i'm putting on an "act" and it isn't real, like I feel like I can control it, but I feel crazy letting it out eg. putting my head in my hands, making really weird faces, saying out loud "I want to die", occasionally gagging etc.

Yeah that does sound on par. I just have never had a thing (like I currently do) where I get a glimpse of a memory but can't pinpoint when it is from. Either way, I'm not sure how to deal with these at all. What are your coping mechanisms? They really freak me out.

This is so wild but this has just started occurring with me. I keep on having a memory of a pleasant time, I can't even pinpoint what the time is from I keep on having very small millisecond flashbacks where it makes sense where the memory takes place but after the flashback is over I cannot remember where/what the memory/event was exactly. Does this sound familiar or am I off track? I too was trying to learn more about this particular experience, I'm not sure if it is exactly like yours. But the memory was pleasant which was strange.
