Not Sure What This Is

(Nothing triggering from what I know, but I do talk a lot about my internal thoughts in this)

I feel like I'm losing my sanity and I don't know why. I had several traumatic events happen throughout my life, but I think a few that happened this year pushed me over the edge. I have anger episodes a lot and they're quickly getting worse. I started going to a therapist, who required me to talk about a lot of traumatic events in detail. After I recollected those events, I found I suddenly have a hard time wording my thoughts or keeping a train of thought when I talk (for whatever reason, writing is mostly fine). When I do talk, I feel like someone else is talking instead of me and I feel like I have no control over what I say or do. I feel like I feel every emotion at once to the point that I feel numb. I'm starting to get the voices back in my head that I had when I was younger, and I'm having a hard time sleeping because I'm scared to. I've also been breaking down a lot more. Overall, I just feel mentally unstable and like I don't have control of myself.

I don't know if there's a possible name for this, I put it under this section of the forum because I think it goes beyond standard anxiety/depression. If anyone has an idea what this might be so I can research into it for more detail, I would appreciate it. I'm not expecting a final answer, just some research points I could look into and discuss with my therapist. This could also be a result of overthinking and I just need to stop overanalyzing.

  I don't think you are overanalyzing or overthinking, considering that fact that you've been through multiple traumatic events. It seems to not have much to do with you but what you have been through , as I'm pretty sure you already know. Trauma therapy could be specific in your case. For the wording thing and feeling like someone is talking for you, you could work with your therapist on communication skills  and self-expression. And you could always do journaling or meditation. When starting meditation, it is common to be interrupted by your thoughts. It takes practice. There are also support groups. I wish you the best 💚
