  I definitely struggle to regulate my emotions. I avoid them until they become too much, and then it all comes out. I might have learned this from my mom to be honest. She used to pretend she was fine, nothing was wrong, and then I could ask her a question and she would flip on me. Yelling, slamming things. Sometimes this would be unprompted. I&apos;d be in my room, trying to fall asleep, and she would yell at me through the wall and vent all her frustrations. I don&apos;t do that, but when I feel those intense emotions of anger and frustration, it causes a deep sense of panic within me. I cry, and cry, and sob. I hyperventilate. Maybe I&apos;m afraid to react the way she does, to treat those around me like they&apos;re the problem. I&apos;m aware that it&apos;s actually me, and it&apos;s something I&apos;m going to struggle with for a while. Sometimes I have to take a step back and see that it&apos;s not the people around me, it&apos;s me.<br><br>Anyway, this is another helpful video, Kati! Now I can address this when I return to therapy in two weeks. I took a break from it, but after yelling at a member of the household and having a massive panic attack, I knew it was time to go back. Definitely need to heal that inner child of mine who wasn&apos;t heard, seen, or understood. The girl who wasn&apos;t allowed to express herself in any capacity. And by leaving this comment, I only hope it can be of help to someone struggling with this. It&apos;s the first time I&apos;ve actually put all of this into words. Take care!

  Both- I superficially look like I have no emotions- but it’s because I feel too much. And it’s hard to put a label on all of the competing emotions I feel.<br><br>I’m known as the nicest most chill person- right up until I’m not…😞🤦🏽‍♀️<br><br>Btw- Kati you are wonderful- and your eyebrows are perfection! Beautiful inside and out 😊

  Omg isolating yes. I’m like I’ll contact my friends when I’m feeling ok and so I end up not &nbsp;Contacting them for ages &nbsp;cos I realised I’m emotionally distressed most of the time and I don’t know how to manage it. This reparenting job is a lifetime task 😅

  My emotional instability is the bane of my existence. It&apos;s like I am truly my own worst enemy

  While this is a great video that is quite accessible and helpful in its content, I do want to mention that when you talked about how lack of emotional regulation can show in the form of us pointing fingers at everyone but ourselves, it&apos;s important to recognise that while it can absolutely be true, it can also be an accurate assessment of blam e based on our experiences with abusive people. <br><br>If we&apos;re raised by abusive and toxic people and still have to live with them or have to interact with them regularly, blaming them for the trauma they&apos;ve caused and the pain they&apos;re still inflicting on us is not just randomly finding someone else to blame but to acknowledge what happened, how it affects us and desperately trying to accept that the version of ourselves that&apos;s created by them doesn&apos;t define us etc. I am only mentioning this because so many physically and emotionally abusive people downplay their actions towards their victims as &apos;always blaming everyone but themselves&apos; and although it&apos;s important to try to heal, it&apos;s completely unacceptable that this psychological jargon is weaponized against them.

  How would something like this work, if say the person was Autistic and has Alexithymia? Not knowing how you&apos;re feeling &nbsp;makes it hard to regulate what you don&apos;t cognitively understand.

  This is what I have been struggling all my life with, having had no role models of healthy emotional regulation, and zero guidance. Even as an adult, now, I still have to figure it all out on my own, plus having to manage my parents and their lack of emotional regulation as they get old and frail.

  Sometimes, I can be a very emotional person. When I&apos;m mad, I get a little angry. When I&apos;m sad, I&apos;m flooded with shame, hurt and doubt. When I&apos;m happy, I&apos;m usually satisfied and <b>really</b> happy. Overall, I try to keep my emotions on check.
