Yeah, when I read that post of yours above, I instantly thought of age regression. Because in many other posts you are reasonable and factual.

My above post about being a good little girl is too real to be bearable. Age regression btw is when an individual, who suffered extreme stress or trauma, reverts to a childlike behavior and mental state. Their IQ may be intact, but they socially and emotionally devolve. In extreme cases, they behave exactly like an infant.

I suggest that when you detect the state in yourself of age regression, you go and be alone, rest, relax until you are able to recover. Wait with sharing your stream of consciousness in such states until you get in therapy with a therapist you feel comfortable with.
In the meantime, you may try and journal, if you feel the need to write out things.
