Well I was reading this post on social media and it was on about the less spoken aspects of being N/D. One of the points was about emotional dysregulation and how strong emotions both positive and negative can manifest in the same way.
As well as being AuDHD I have TRD and it's really challenging to get through the days at times.
I just don't feel or experience positive emotions in any sense I can quantify, if I do encounter something that would prompt such emotions I just start to cry, there's no cathartic release it's just tears and embarrassment, yes I know tears should be embarrassing but I'm a 55 year old northern bloke and I don't like the lack of control. I do react in the same fashion when my mood dips dramatically but that is more understandable?
So, I understand that this isn't uncommon but not widely "advertised" but how the hell do I fix this. Before I read this post I'd never heard of anyone else mention it, I've spoken to mental health people in the past and they are either sympathetic or just look really confused.
Anyway thanks for reading and for any pointers that help guide the way.
Take care.
