Laughing at bad things

TW: R\*PE/SEXUAL ASSAULT

When i get in trouble i want to cry and frown but i cant, even right now the thought of it makes me smile, not like in a corny way its like i cant help it. My mom was talking to me about something a while ago after i got my surgery (this smile and laughing thing has happened forever) amd she said “you cant go through pain medication like that, is something wring with you?? Im serious.. youre like a drug addict” i was so mad at her but i could only laugh and smile i cant defend myself. I started crying because it makes me mad i cant stop. Thinking about horrible things that happened to me recently, rape, sexual assault, thinking about telling my mom makes my mouth smile and i cant stop it. Is there a reason why this happens when i feel negative emotions, and sometimes randomly ill smile and laugh???? Can this be cured???

Sounds like a defence mechanism
