Struggling
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2026 10:59 am
Hi I've joined this group as I really struggle with emotional regulation because of my dyspraxia I was diagnosed when I was younger and because of my moms support and fighting to keep me from feeling like I belong and that I wasn't different I went to a clinic when I was younger which helped with my coordination and balance .
But as I become an adult and I'm getting older I've noticed my emotional regulation , anxiety and emotional outbursts is getting worse I either tend to bottle things up or over explain my emotions which leads to others saying I am selfish and only focused on my needs , I don't mean it I just get so overwhelmed and anxious especially in conflict situations with my sister who I feel will never truly understand and love me for who I am and now my husband is showing similarities, I feel broken yesterday I ended up having an emotional outburst in front of my sister , niece and husband and it resulted in my niece feeling like she's the problem.
I don't want to lose the people I love and i want to stop feeling like I'm not worthy of love or relationships with the people I love , does anyone have any coping strategies to help me regulate my emotions please I wish my mom was here as I feel like she's the only one who truly understand my dyspraxia and loved me but I lost her to COVID 5 years ago and it still hurts
