There are things that may have happened to you when you weren't verbal yet and as such they are held in your body and you don't have words for them. Have you ever done any body-memory work?
I agree with Pfinstegg, getting the feelings out without trying to pin a memory on them is one way to begin to feel better. I don't know what kind of therapy you are in, but sometimes you have to have really gone through the initial layer with someone before you get to the next one of more difficult memories.
It sounds like you were retraumatized by something two years ago that flip the switch. Maybe working back to that spot will help open up what is going on with you. These things are so difficult. I described my feelings when I started this process as being haunted by something or someone. It felt like someone died, only I didn't know who or when.
I hope you have someone to help you with all of this. I could never have done it alone. Hang in there. We are here for you.
