Alexithymia predicts poorer social and everyday functioning in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Alexithymia can also occur with those of us on the autism spectrum . At my assessment I really struggled when asked to explain what words like ‘love’ meant .

I had this, and still do to some extent. Only in recent years I started to teach myself to recognize and express emotions and it helps tremendously. I still find it hard when im overwhelmed though (e.g. many other people or a lot is happening at once). Do you have a therapist or so who could help you with this?

The test says i changed from high alexithymia traits to some, i filled it in for past and current time. :slight_smile:

I’m actually a highly emotional person, but I have trouble identifying emotions.
I took the test and it told me that I have little alexithymia traits.
