Has this ever happened for anyone else?

Something weird just happened, and it's happened several times in the past month or two. 

 

Every night before bed, my boyfriend/Daddy and I will cuddle while we read reddit or the forum. Cuddling, at one point or another, always leads to him tickling me. Almost always, he will tickle me to the point of me losing my breath and being unable to talk, so he'll stop and make sure I'm okay (since I have asthma). But, more recently - as I explained at the start - I will go from laughing hysterically... to actually sobbing. It isn't the happy tears that happen when you can't stop laughing. It's definitely sad, and it's a really bizarre trade-off. 

 

I suppose I should note that I am diagnosed with PTSD, but this... did not feel like a panic attack. I have them often, and I know what triggers them. This was not it at all. I didn't feel unsafe. I didn't feel hurt. It was just random. 

 

I wouldn't really be bothered if it were a one time thing, but this has become an increasingly more frequent occurrence. I am wondering if it could be something to do with my little, since I have been much deeper in littlespace recently... or something else? I really don't know. I feel nuts. :/

This has happened to me. I detest being tickled, but never really voiced it to daddy, then one day he tickled my tummy and I just started bawling. I really don't know how to describe what tickling feels like to me, but it is really uncomfortable and almost painful. Obviously this sounds a bit different then your situation... I hope you are able to figure out what triggered the crying!

Hi

 

Can means many things really and be linked with many things ...   many of them = Not being nuts! 

 

There is a very common defense mecanism that can do that.  Often with intense emotions in life people developt a defense that divide feeling and thoughts... sometime we can explain something or a situation ... other time we feel emotion but would not be able to explain it or why. That defense divide the Why and the feeling itself...  problem is sometime we feel a lot of emotion at random moment or with no apparent reason.

 

Maybe it is that! .. but really... it can be many things. 

 

If you have PTSD, hoping you have specialists helping you, you could talk about it with them.  

 

Your question is not a yes or no question ...    

 

If it was me, I would talk about it with my psychologist ..  cause I hate feeling nuts ! 

 

Hope it can help you

laughing is actually a fear response to being tickled. that's why you cant tickle yourself, cause you cant actually be afraid of yourself. that may be part of it. but i also have ptsd and i cant handle being tickled, either.
