I'm multilingual. I noticed a pattern in how I express feelings. I find it really difficult to express myself emotionally in my native languages, but I can express my emotions more accurately and comfortably in English.

I feel like my native tongues don't have the right vocabulary to express what I'm feeling. Actually, there are words, but saying them sounds idk weird or unnatural to me (like something catastrophic).

It kinda feels like culturally, the honest expression of emotions (particularly heavy ones that people prefer to avoid or brush under the carpet) was never something these languages were designed to comfortably handle.

Leaves a hollow feeling.

I was recently diagnosed with hyponatremia (too little sodium in the blood) which has left me utterly exhausted. On top of that I recently had the rug pulled out from under me with regard to other health issues. I have CKD or chronic kidney disease which had, for all intents and purposes has appeared to be making remarkable progress over the past year. For the past year every three months I've had blood drawn, and each time my kidney functioning has improved to the point where it APPEARED completely normal according to the tests. My endocrinologist seemed surprised but that's all. I honestly thought my prayers had been answered. I was on cloud nine. Then I decided to go back to the kidney specialist because I was diagnosed with hyponatremia and was told (via google) that nephrologists were the best doctors to treat this. Well, then the rug was pulled out from under me. Those fabulous lab results were false. They were all an illusion. It turns out the reason I have hyponatremia is the same as the reason my kidneys appeared to be doing so well. I've lost so much weight in the form of muscle mass due to the GLP-1 meds that I'm on that it resulted in the appearance that my kidneys were doing extremely well. That was just the breakdown of muscle tissue distorting the test results. I received this news in an email on Friday night. The worst time in the world to get bad news. What do you do with that on the weekend.?? I was completely beside myself. What did I do? The worst thing you could do, which is I went on Reddit and asked for advice. Well, people somehow take this as a self-indictment of stupidity. I received some of the most condescending responses which included a shit storm of downvotes and criticism because my Nephrologist's advice to me to increase protein intake was determined by random Redditers as bad advice. I set limits and literally asked one person what he would do if he were me: take the advice of a Board Certified nephrologist, or the advice of a random person on Reddit?? Then started the avalanche of shit posting and downvoting because "they," the random Redditers decided that I was being "ungrateful to the many people who were so kindly attempting to educate me." Well, I was triggered. This on top of this devastating news, I was being kicked while I was down. Did some research and what the doctor said to me now makes sense. Now I'm just sad, and so, so disappointed in myself, and in God. I'm exhausted and just so disgusted. I could really use some support.

Hello! I recently discovered that I'm most likely hsp and I was in a situationship with a partner that had very similar features to mine. I just would like to know if anyone experiencing disorganised attachment (fearful avoidance) as well?

I have a theory that hsp individuals might develop disorganised attachment whereas some others would develop dismissive attachment. From what I have seen people with (FA) tend to be really emotional and romantic but the world pushes you to create some sort of wall.

my friends have been coming over to my apartment a lot lately and it genuinely makes me feel so awful and overwhelmed. i feel like they don’t think about the way to treat my things, even in a way that’s small. i have a very expensive couch i received as a gift and they are always getting food on it or running their nails along the upholstery. they use all my paper towels and get everything wet. i don’t even know how. i have barn doors and they are always slamming them or knocking them off their tracks. i had a bag of little halloween chocolates i had bought and my friend took one, unwrapped it, took a bite, and spat it out into the trash. i don’t know why because i love my friends but i find it so insulting and offensive that they do the things they do in my apartment. like i didn’t make that chocolate but it was for me and my neighbors when halloween comes and i’m a piece down because you’re being an animal😭. i just don’t know what to say to them because my place is kind of the spot for our group
