Does anyone else feel like this? It’s so hard to regulate emotions after someone screamed at me or I had a misunderstanding and feel like a total idiot and loser for not understanding or asking questions. Strong light, sounds of scanners, people talking and laughing loud, strollers being moved on the floor and many other sounds that usually don’t make me feel disregulated today made me crazy and crying I had to hide so no one sees me crying. It was so hard to calm down and soothe myself. I pressed my forehead with my hands and sat for few minutes. This is why I feel like a child in an adult body. Terribly embarrassing. I’m high functioning- I’m a child functioning in adult world and trying to cope. Does anyone have any thoughts, advice, experience, stories to share, I’ll be happy.
Hi
I am sorry that I don’t have any advice but can relate to your post in a big way. I have always thought of myself as a vulnerable child like adult. Don’t get me wrong I manage to get by but it baffles me at how all the responsibility of being an adult doesn’t seem to affect Nt’s. I often get told my responses are somewhat child like.
Thank you for your answer it’s good to know I’m not alone feeling like this
