Intense Trauma Associations and Triggering

Yes I 100% do this as well. This may be associated with PTSD and repetitive thoughts due to anxiety. (We can get PTSD from pretty much anything if our bodies decide it is trauma) sometimes this can happen from a disordered nervous system and you can react to even small things (my case). I've learned breathing techniques help a TON when this happens. I usually breath in for 4 and out for 8. You might want to try going to therapy to try to work through this if you don't already. I wish I could be of more help, but I deal with this problem too😥

Yes!!! To me I have boxes of time periods in my head, they’re all in like a row on a self (idk if that sounds crazy but) different times and people and even likes and dislikes kinda are distinctly grouped into their own box
