Emotions run amuck during OSA treatment?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 9:13 pm

I feel like ever since diagnosis and starting my treatment a few months ago, my emotions have been all over the map. Before treatment, during full-fledge OSA, I seemed emotionless, except when unhappy over being so exhausted and frustrated over being exhausted. Otherwise I felt more like a zombie with no emotions.

I've felt relief from exhaustion since starting treatment, but from the beginning I've felt as if my emotions have been suddenly spewing out in all directions, and I don't know how to control them. It feels like hormone madness, only without the hormones making the madness. Happy, sad, fearful, excitable, grateful, lonely, up, down, and all around. Have any of you experienced this sudden flood of emotions? Or is it just me?

All those emotions can really get to you. I've read some describe before cpap as a brain fog... maybe your fog has cleared and this is the real you.

Oh god, I hope not!
If this is the real me, I'd like to trade in for another.
One emotion at a time, for goodness sakes!!!

I think it is like learning to walk and run again after recovering from a serious accident. It's been so long since you had to exercise control over the various emotions that it doesn't come naturally. We supress a lot of emotions without even thinking about it. But when you have been devoid of emotion for a while, it takes conscious effort to control them.
