Just wondering about this.

I have a friend who sometimes just specifically craves a certain dish from a certain food chain. (Like wicked wings from KFC or something)

Or they suddenly feel like watching a specific show (Like Boston Legal)

How does that work?
I never seem to experience something similar to that.
Is it common to feel like that?

    It does feel like that sometimes. I notice that when there is a moment where it would make sense to be angry, I instead just feel headache or stomachache, but don’t really feel any emotion.

    I don’t know whether I experienced any trauma. I just don’t remember much. Especially emotional things I don’t remember.

    In fact, I had a conversation with my father recently. And I remember we got emotional about something. But right after the conversation, I can’t remember anymore what we talked about.

      That does sound strongly like some kind of emotional suppression. Some people have problems forming memories when they experience intense anger or sadness.

      Have you ever tried taking notes / writing a diary?
