i stayed at a hotel one time, and got eaten alive by bed bugs, i woke up with literally 50 bites all over my body, they itched like hell, it was horrible, and the hotel wouldnt do anything about it. sometimes after someone experiences something like that they might develop a phobia of them...

a few times i woke up screaming, but not only that, but i was also covered in goosebumps, and drenched in sweat , even tho it wasnt even hot. i was having nightmares, but they didnt relate to my past trauma in any way. ive heard that goosebumps, or "chills" are a sign that something is up. like...
I survived long term ongoing trauma. and i feel like a part of who i use to be is now dead. sometimes when things got too overwhelmed to cope, a part of me would leave myself and shut down. i didnt care as much, and i didnt feel as much emotion when this happened. than i would come back to...
idk i dont feel like i resemble anyone specific, i just notice that i look a tad bit different, maybe you and your mother both had some of the same physical reactions that happened when anxious? do you recall having any other symptoms of dissociation?
