Have done a few online tests now and keeps coming back saying I have alexithymia (eg online test here I scored 128).
I do know when I'm depressed, which can be often. But I've always been unable to verbalise my emotions to anyone. If I try then I get lost for words. The other person feels uncomfortable and puts words in my mouth. I get frustrated and just agree it change the subject.
Really struggling with it especially lately.
Is this true alexithymia, and are there any coping mechanisms?
