I do something similar but it's a bit different from what you describe. I can feel something intensely for about a minute and then it goes away, to a point of not even knowing what it was like. I've thought about making a topic on this as well. I don't do this on purpose at all either. I try to remember the emotion but don't. I would describe it as emotional memory loss. At the same time I realize that it causes me signifant problems even though I don't understand why. I don't think much can be done about it either. Most the time I'm laughing and having fun and then I snap then return to normal. I do this when I'm by myself too. I wish I could work on it but I don't know how. I have honestly been concerned I could kill someone and go to prison but anytime I have brought it up I'm not taken seriously because I seem happy and friendly all the time. I have been to therapists and find it useless because whenever I go I usually just laugh and joke with them. I don't act crazy in there and its hard to talk about emotions when you don't understand or remember them. I think only people who live with me see my insane side and to everyone else I just seem eccentric and absent minded. On rare occasions I have flipped out in public such as the store, dshs or work, but I don't act that way when I'm happy.
IIN that i feel i have no other choice than to bottle my emotions?
