What Is Emotional Dysregulation? | Neurodivergent Magic

Показать описание

DId you know that bipolar disorder isn't the only neurodivergence that involves emotional dysregulation? Yeah, I didn't realize this either for the longest time, but it turns out, emotional dysregulation is a key component of many types of neurodivergence, including BPD, ADHD, autism, and more.

My emotions don't always change quickly. They are super strong and take a long time to go away. But sometimes they do change quickly.

"emotions about emotions" perfect description!
Lithium helps me stay at that baseline but cannot prevent dysregulation when I'm triggered.

I feel like I'm losing my mind more and more every day. And yes, I was misdiagnosed with bipolar. I feel like such a hot mess.

I enjoy somtimes this emotional dysregulation, I'm being like I'm in film or imaginative story.. i don't try to change what I'm feeling, i just keep my emotions going forward, and understand it, and make accurate or hilarious comments about it.. my life is always like a drama and suspense, everything can change in a second emotions and thoughts etc, Living inside the brain more than outside, and even if experience the outside word, i experience it differently like a show, i enjoy details and humain nature, and doing everything in my own weird way

I liked this video. I don’t know if I’m “normal” or not, but for most of this video I felt like you were literally explaining how I feel and how my head works. Maybe I should go speak to someone? 😂

a big thing i struggle with is being told to calm down. you think i want to feel this intense about this? to cycle between fear and anger and sadness while I'm just looking for my keys?

Thank you for making this video. I really love that you talked about healthy emotional regulation, because I’m also just now figuring out that I have no idea what that actually is and I really struggle to know what’s unhealthy in comparison ♥️

I'd love to do one of your programs, but due to ADHD and chronic pain I can't work, so as of now, I don't even have an income. It's sad that the only ones who can get help (personal help not just watching videos) are people who already have money. Us who are broke are just f*ckd.

This is a little story about my experience with emotional dysregulation:

Birthdays were a disaster throughout my childhood - I first got so beside myself with joy and then totally crashed! It first startet with an angry fit and then transioned into a tearful depression.

Finally in my teens my mom realized that I just got too happy - manic euphoria so to say - which eventually made me crash. So she reminded me of not getting too happy. Like in that scene in Mary Poppins where the characters begin to levitate when laughing at uncle Albert's house and that they sink back down to the floor, when thinking of something sad.

This technique still helps me today as a middle aged woman to prevent myself from crashing down into a depressed episode.

Being able to experience boundless joy might be beautiful, but it's not worth plummeting into absolute desperation and misery afterwards.
