Are there a lot of people that like to "bottle" their emotions and have a hard time dealing with them when they "explode" all at once? I usually get a form of anxiety attack where i shut myself down. i feel like i am in my own world completely but living in the same one as everyone else. everything seems like a dream all day 24 hours. it can sometimes last a week to a month long. 2 months is the longest ive ever had it. people say that its like they are talking to a person thats not there. does any one else get the same?

I have a tendency to bottle up my emotions. I have a hard time dealing with emotions that I've dealt with in the past that come back in some new way. Even though I know I have to deal with them, I still find it difficult and just keep them inside until I explode or somehow just get over it which just leads to another issue arising later in the future. However, I do not think I have ever been to a point where I've shut myself down and have lived in a dream state. I'm not exactly sure what all I went through before I had my official diagnosis because a lot of things happened that generally created a terrible environment in my head, so it's hard to tell what happened.
