Symptom: emotional lability

[Obsdian]

Emotional lability is one of my symptoms. It isn't there all the time but shows more when fatigue has increased enough or I have a flare up.

I haven't found much information about this at all, basically just stuff saying it involves depression and anxiety.

I'm noy depressed or anxious. Mine comes on as more sadness that is really out of proportion to my thoughts and can last hours or days... More often it lasts about two days but I feel sensitive after for about a week.

It helps to recognize this as a symptom and try to tell myself it's ok my emotions are just out of proportion... But that doesn't actually make it stop. It stops when it stops, I don't know why or how.

Anyway... Anyone know of information to read about this?

Hi. I don't really have any information on this but just wanted to say that I have the same symptom. It's like a wave of sadness hits me and it's unrelated to anything in the world around me. I know it's hormonal and I know it will go away but it's still challenging.

It's a really good question. I hope someone on here has information on it.

Yes, exactly like a wave. Something I might think is sad just suddenly turns into the saddest thing in the world then everything becomes sad.
