How does everyone deal with the lows. I tend to lash out at loved ones

It is really hard for me too. I generally try to isolate myself when I feel the low. However, even though I explain them and ask them to leave me alone, they generally don't (bcs they don't understand 🤦‍♀️). Then, things happen... 😕

I find this really hard. I assume it’s because I’m low on dopamine, and I need to exercise some self care. It is hard because I really need my loved ones to build me up… Because I am a social person and I get most of my dopamine from my relationships. But when I am low, I pick fights and I tend to alienate myself.

It’s hard for me too. I often have to try and reset my filter and remember I’m not really mad at them. More likely I’m mad at myself for feeling so snippy.

Me too...it's the part I hate the most....I try to keep a low tone of voice so I'm not yelling all the time. People always say I'm yelling anyway...it's so hard.

It is usually hard, but I try to take a breath and remember to try and just communicate that I'm not in a good mental state and if in snippy it's not because of them

Thank you that helps alot

I lash out at loved ones too. When I feel myself at burnout I try to cocoon myself as much as I can. I wrap in blankets and take time away to just rest. I’m doing my best to learn to communicate with my partner and others that I’m at a really low point and I could use extra love and grace.
