Hi Everyone. I took several months away from the board. if anyone remembers me, I'd like to get back in the swing of things.

I have experienced a lot of emotion dysregulation over the months but it got worse last month. Even positive emotions are very dysregulated. I think that there was a lot to gain from this site and I would like to try it again. I might be a bit quieter though but please bare with me as I get back into the swing of things.

I am actually doing better. I am trying to get a part time job. Nothing yet. but its ok. I don't have bi-polar but something inside me hasn't been right and I was very obsesive and very energetic. I could not slow down. Everything was fast and very dysregulated. I am trying to tone it down but my new medication is helping to slow me down inside my head too.

I look forward to talking with you all.

Welcome back, Roo. Glad to see you!

When you say "dysregulated" do you mean "out of whack, not the right amount for the situation"?

Hi Ash. No, I mean that even good feelings like excitement or happiness are dysregulated in the sense that I get kind of over the top and crazy and then I start spinning because I get so excited that i can't slow down. my family and friends were pulling away. almost lost my therapist over it too. I have some obsessive stuff going on but I never told anyone what its like in my head. It is so fast. so even being excited about being a new aunt this summer, really got out of control. my sister couldn't tolerate me. when i get excited i get very excited. that's what I mean I guess. I just learned that positive emotions can be dysregulated and not just the negative ones all the time.
