Does anyone here struggle to understand how they feel?
I'm recently diagnosed, and since knowing that I'm autistic, I feel as though the symptoms of it are much clearer to me now. I know that I'm feeling either bad or good, but I can't necessarily pin point the reason why or the specific emotion attached to. Its as though I've gone through so many difficult times (not trauma or a specific bad event, just bad memories) that everything seems to trigger some emotions which are negative. It's extremely frustrating because it puts my day off massively, and no one can comfort me because I either don't tell them, or I can't even tell them what's wrong.
OMG - too much information!!

The intention is to start in the centre, and see which general group your feeling seems to belong to (this is the easy part).
Then you look at the emotions that this spreads into and see if any of these seem like they match what you are feeling.
I'm not sure about the outside ring - I tend to use just the inner two.
It makes it really simple to use this way.

There are other variants and it helps to find one you can attune to.
