  • Are alexithymia and emotional neglect common in CPTSD

    Jump

  • I think this is exactly what I experience. Everytime I try to look at a wheel of emotions or something similar to identify my emotions, I stop actually feeling anything.

    The heartbeat example is funny, because I was in a situation not many years ago where I was measuring my blood pressure consistency, and started feeling queesy when hearing/feeling my own heartbeat. Then on the third measurement, my heart stopped for a second or two and I fainted.

  • How did you experience the video on that wikipedia page? For me the face of the man had the exact same expression in all shots. But that might be my alexithymia.

  • It appears good and cheap. But it's actually burning money, energy and water like crazy. I think somebody mentioned to generate a 10 second video, it's the equivalent in energy consumption as driving a bike for 100km.

    It's not sustainable. I think the thing the person above you is referring to is if we ever manage to make LLMs and such which can be run locally on a phone or laptop with good results. That would make people experiment and try out things themselves, instead of being dependent on paying monthly for some services that can change anytime.

  • Are there things a person can do by themselves to become better at differentiating the different emotions they feel? And what kind of therapist would be able to help with this? Often I find that things like CBT can actually detach me more from my emotions, making me try to analyse more instead of trying to feel.

  • This is a really good way to put it indeed. I definitely feel emotions, perhaps even too intensely. But I can almost never figure out what they are trying to tell me. Very often it's just Pain/Bad or Pleasant/Good

  • This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

  • I actually played Noita before. I though I was doing pretty good by myself, managed to get quite deep. Then somebody told me about the outside map and all the parallel worlds and wow....

  • Does anyone have good books about DID?

    Jump

  • Dissociation made simple by Jamie Marich might be helpful. Not only about DID specifically, but covers a lot of dissociative work.

  • I think knowledge gated games are good, but not when there is no actual in-game method to discover the things you need to progress.

  • I think the Jungian concept of the Puer Aeternus describes this very well.

  • what are good in-person activities for making friends?

    Jump

  • On the other side, I notice that when I'm meeting up with friends, we sometimes get focused so much on the game, that we don't really talk anymore about things going on in our lives. Sometimes that's good, but if you are a person that finds it difficult to talk and focus on a game at the same time, it can be kinda frustrating.

  • I think the best option I've found is just volunteering in your neighbourhood and asking the people there if they go to any groups or want to do something together

  • Meetup used to be great, but seems to be enshittifying more with every passing day.

    Are there good alternatives or other ways to find groups to join?

  • Does anybody else understand they need to make deep connections with people but their social battery has been dead for a while and can't put up with people's BS?

  • Awareness is only one part of mindfulness, you already got that, which is great.

    The other part is equanimity, being aware of things, but not reacting or judging.

    When you practice mindfulness, try to set a time goal of how long you want to do it and stick to it no matter what. If there are suddenly loud noises, or you suddenly feel very hungry, or you suddenly remember something important for work, just stick with the time you set. It'll get easier over time.

    Doing it frequently definitely helps with hyper-vigilance and being overly aware of things.

    Jump

  • If you're still interested to try and meet people, I would suggest still trying to meet up or go to locations with a bunch of people and check yourself.

    How do you feel there, what do you notice, what makes you feel tired?

    Very often you'll find yourself overly alert, overly self concious, or simply not used to the experience. These all drain energy.

    Try again and notice if it changes. Keep trying.

  • There are still people out there which aren't zombified yet. And it's still worth the effort to try and seek them out.
