Is it normal to have fake ptsd and want to streak?

I've been working from home for a year and a half and I'm alone all day. Sometimes my need for play and entertainment manifests in curious and exciting ways. For example, I heard a helicopter approaching the vicinity of my home the other day, and, at the presentation of the distinct CHUGGAH CHUGGAH CHUGGAH above, I abruptly abandoned the soft glow of my laptop, ran tactically into my living room with hands clasped together emulating a pointed firearm and screamed at the top of my lungs "DIE B**TCH!!" as if having some vivid Vietnam flashback. (This was all uncharacteristic of me, and I can only deduce that my subconscious would prefer outright chaos over apathy.) Also, when the neighborhood is busy mid-morning with all kinds of neighbors, workers, landscapers, etc I sometimes get the urge to free myself from this loathsome confinement-- unimaginably free-- lacing up sneakers and darting out the front door with no clothes, scurrying frantically around the neighborhood naked as a mouse. Nothing weird or perverse, just to be spontaneous, free, and funny. Is it normal?

    I personally pretend I'm some kind of big cat, stalking around my house in the dark with my shoulders hunched up, eyes darting around, pouncing on furniture. Fuck it, y'know, YOLO. I think streaking should be a normal everyday occurrence.

      LOL, wtaf? I think you need to watch slightly less Discovery channel and MUCH less OnlyFans.

    I’ll admit I had the same thoughts about leaving the house naked during lockdown. I wondered hypothetically how many streets a person could walk down causally naked before someone called the police. Being naked in public is the ultimate sign of giving up and many people were wondering, “What does it matter anymore?” Unless you look like you are in your 70s no-one is going to assume you were in Vietnam, they will just think you are crazy.

    You sound like you desperately need a break from your work and some human contact. Book some time off and go on a hike or something.

    You seem to have a need to expel tension! just like when a cat all of a sudden jolt's off without warning!
    I reccommened exercise like jogging, this will expel the tension you have built up and therefore end of problem!
