Hi all
I’ve recently learned more about these concepts: Alexithymia being emotional blindness, and emotional neglect resulting from how I grew up in my childhood.
I often (every week) find myself completely exhausted, painful, and often vomiting every morning. This seems to happen more frequently and intensely when I’m going to work/training.
I’m trying to find a way to be aware of any emotions I might feel and try to place them before getting overwhelmed. But often it still results in a shutdown basically.
Anyone have tips on how to deal with this?
This is a really good way to put it indeed. I definitely feel emotions, perhaps even too intensely. But I can almost never figure out what they are trying to tell me. Very often it’s just Pain/Bad or Pleasant/Good
