Alexithymia is about not knowing what you feel. Not as a passing moment, but as a way of life. I open this webpage because in my head there are more questions about it than answers.
For example:
I spend a miserable week without energy, everything is difficult, and I
don't have a clue why. Then after some time the reason becomes clear: somebody
was very nasty at me, made me angry, but I just didn't notice it.
I JUST DIDN'T NOTICE THAT I WAS DEAD ANGRY. That's perhaps what
Alexithymia is all about.
Another one:
Sometimes I feel really good. I have a lot of energy. But I just don't know
what I want to do. So much energy, and not a clue where to take it to.
I try to listen to my heart, but my thoughts are much louder. I suspect
that's Alexithymia.
