Don’t worry you’re never alone xx

yep, I get the same. Got me it is out of frustration because I cannot do the things I used to. This is compounded by my family, out of best intentions, seem to focus on what I can’t do rather than helping do what I can do and get some feeling of accomplishment.

It’s hard to step back from those emotions.

One day I’ll get it right.

Keep positive.

Hi 7151 👋🏻 I think it’s understandable to be honest, frustration of not being able to live life as it was & fear of the future - it’s an awful lot to handle. Maybe blowing your top is not a bad thing? (For you - not the family though) I’ve tried talking it through with my family & explaining, but it’s hard to see how hurt they are my outbursts & withdrawn times.

It’s tough as hell, but you’re not alone in this xx

No not at all, I find I'm more patient with others because of my ataxia. Before I would occasionally say things before thinking now I'm more considered.

I lose patients and get irritable quite often. I have idiopathic cerebellar ataxia with CCAS ( Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome). This affects my emotions on both extremes. I can be very calm and maybe slow to respond one day. Another day I can become extremely emotionally sad (crying like a child) or be very irritable and become very angry.

I can relate, it's a combination of being perimenopausal and dealing with sca 3. Thankfully I am extreme introvert and therefore don't really socialise. I find I am more irritable when am tired and I don't sleep well at all.Maybe have a conversation with your friends and family - kind like an apology in advance, explain that it's not them. Also when I realised that I've over reacted I normally try to do some self reflection to get to the root of what caused the reaction - oftentimes it has nothing to do with immediate situation and once that is resolved then I react a lot differently.

yes I do. I get irritable and snap at people very quickly. Thought it was just me.
