Are alexithymia and emotional neglect common in CPTSD

Hi all

I've recently learned more about these concepts: Alexithymia being emotional blindness, and emotional neglect resulting from how I grew up in my childhood.

I often (every week) find myself completely exhausted, painful, and often vomiting every morning. This seems to happen more frequently and intensely when I'm going to work/training.

I'm trying to find a way to be aware of any emotions I might feel and try to place them before getting overwhelmed. But often it still results in a shutdown basically.

Anyone have tips on how to deal with this?
