Trouble With The Mirror?

I'm just having this weird thing happen lately and I wonder if anyone has similar experiences. The mirror is a bad place for me to go... It's like some of the time I'm totally OK to look in the mirror. Then other times I feel fine, or so I think, and I look in the mirror and see a stranger, and this stranger scares me. I don't know.. I kind of want to kill her. I hate her. Then there's times I look in the mirror, don't see myself, and then go into a flashback. I literally watch myself lose it... I can see the present (me watching the mirror) and I can also see the trauma and I feel as I did then. It has become the scariest loop ever. Now I'm afraid to look in the mirror and I always keep my mirrors covered up. I feel so stupid for doing that but if I avoid the mirror I have less flashbacks. Is it me? What the hell is going on with me?
 
I HATE MIRRORS! When I lived alone they were all covered and I brush my teeth with my eyes closed.

I wrote a poem on here called Mirror, Mirror (you can search it or just look at my threads).
