Used to have that happen too years ago at Menninger's. I thought I was dead sometimes or at least not me. Really crazy stuff. Dissociative and depersonalization episodes that lasted days, even weeks. I got past that with a lot of therapy and meds. This was in the 80's so not as many good med's as now.
One thing for sure, you are not losing your mind. There does come a point when you can identify triggers fairly quickly, but it takes work. Now, when I get triggered, sometimes I know right away and can say so in therapy. Sometimes I don't realize it until later in the day or the next day. It does get better though, and it helped me to know that I was not losing my mind and going totally insane.
