faking it?

...See more i was first diagnosed with ptsd and madd (mixed anxiety depressive disorder) in 2017 after the death of my mother and sexual assault from my uncle. i know my diagnoses are real, but for years now i've been thinking to myself, "i could just be faking this. i can stop sulking and force a big smile on my face, no problem. this isn't real." does anyone else experience this sort of imposter syndrome-type mindset?

...See more back in 2017, i was sexually assaulted by my maternal uncle. this happened 5 days after my mother's death, so i was already very vulnerable. my closest friends and family know about what happened. it's been well over 4 years since i last saw him, but he still appears in my dreams to this day. i dream that i am at a family reunion, and someone always manages to invite him despite knowing what he did to me. i've tried telling him to go away, but i know this is a thing in my subconscious that i apparently haven't let go of (i never think of him when i am awake, but he just shows up in my dreams). i wake up in a cold sweat or with tears streaming down my face.
