Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Those of you with uncontrolable emotions, I have a question. Is it just uncontrolable crying/laughing? I don't mean just, but are other emotions affected? Like uncontrolable anger, over an apparent small situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hey , I have a problem with laughing and crying but I have also noticed I get depressed alot too even though I take anti-depressants I still have bouts of depression and cant controll it but I eventually get over it.I also have noticed my fuse is alot shorter to and I blow up at the least little thing.I use to not be this way so Im figuring it has to do with this stupid disease.I dont know what other emotions your eluding too but probably.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I mainly have the uncontrolled crying. I dont have anger problems but I do suffer from uncontrolable anxiety. Its really bad.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I seem to have unexpected crying, irritability....but i am not sure that i consider it unmanageable at this point and tend to be in control in most situations. i find that when i think of upsetting things or focus on the disabling parts of the illness, i would say i have expected crying, anxiety. do i have trouble pulling it together, periodically, but seem to have repeating upsetting thoughts on which to blame it. shannon, remember that men more often than women (not to mean women don't do this too)express depression with anger....hell, i do that too. i had suffered from major depressive disorder most of my life, so when this hit, i was definitely crying uncontrollably as i was watching my life, career, etc slip thru my fingers and had absolutely no control over it. i was already on lexapro before i got sick. so do i have uncontrollable emotions.....maybe at times i do, but it isn't unwarranted at those times, as far as i can gather. do i have unexpected emotionality, yep. perhaps i am making a distinction that doesn't count, i dunno? tawny Maureen mazzie20022000@...> wrote: I mainly have the uncontrolled crying.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 All of this seems so interesting, although I am learning so much more than I ever thought I would learn about central/primary nervous systems ect....It is so hard to differentiate weather something that happens to my husband is from the disease, or just his personality? Does the disease shape who he is, or is it truly who he is? He is quicker to anger than I am, but as he gets more symptoms, and no clear cut DX, is he suffering depression, angry because of it??? Or what?? He had a huge blow out a couple of weeks ago. It put a rift between us, and my parents. It was awful. Like he was demon pocessed. Just not like him at all. So was it uncontrollable emotions? Was it anger from thinking he had HSP then PLS, and now back to HSP (complicated). Was it the thought of having so many tests again, not knowing when he might be in a wheelchair, and wanting to get things done that he wants to do before that time comes. Was it thinking that he may have a fatal disease, and not knowing how much time is left? Just so many uncertainties, and who knows where it is stemming from, or a combination of them all. I am not sure if I should let his docs know about this stuff. Should I do it with Wayne sitting there, or write a letter for the doc to see before his appt?? He is trying to get on SSDI. Mainly because he has only had really physical jobs, and he is so exhausted by the end of the day. There are times the kids don't even see him. OK anymore thoughts on this???

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Gosh , Hard to say...chicken or egg. I do know that as new symptoms came and my functioning got worse, I was a mess. Perhaps this is his way of expressing his frustration. I already had a therapist, but even using all the coping strategies there are out there, it still wasn't enough sometimes to manage the darkest of days. didn't know for sure what i had, what was going to happen next, or hardly what i was able to do from one day to the next as each day tends to affect me differently. Cannot imagine having had a partner during those early times, but then it would have been so comforting knowing i had an outlet other than my friends that got leaned on the most. Can you and he talk about the outbursts after he has calmed down? It is important not to make too many excuses for our behavior despite the many reasons and excuses we have for it. unacceptable and over the top behavior has to be addressed and i have had my share of knots jerked in my tail in the past 3 years. I learned to respect those knots early because i didn't want to alienate the only support i did have. agree with him to discuss these outbursts as help is out there for him in dealing with this---whatever its name might be. hang in there shannon. cannot know what you are going thru, but sure am glad you are seeking support from such a wonderful group as this! tawny Marklowitz smarklow@...> wrote: All of this seems so interesting, although I am learning so much more than I ever thought I would learn about central/primary nervous systems ect....It is so hard to differentiate weather something that happens to my husband is from the disease, or just his personality?
