Not being able to regulate my emotions so if I am angry, or frustrated, or scared, or anything in the negative spectrum I either shut down or overflow into a meltdown.
That and having almost a complete lack of executive function.
I very much relate to this. Been in an intensive group DBT program and idk if it’s helping, but it’s way more than a one on one therapist has ever done for me. It’s not solving all my problems, but it does help.
I’m not neurodivergent tho, just born too sensitive I guess. It sucks sometimes because it seems like most people don’t feel pain as intensely as some of us do. I probably have BPD traits.
I almost lost my job several months ago when a period of extreme ongoing workplace stress exacerbated my natural predisposition for this. Been many months now and I’m still employed. :)
