UNHINGED | Emotional Dysregulation — My Nervous System Is a Drama Queen!!

⚠️ Trigger Warning:
This episode discusses emotional dysregulation, anxiety responses, trauma, neurodivergence, and nervous system overload.

Welcome back to UNHINGED.
I’m Jayde James.

In this episode, I talk bluntly about emotional dysregulation — what it actually is, how it shows up in my body, and why I spent years thinking I was “too much” instead of understanding my nervous system.

This isn’t about being dramatic.
It’s about a nervous system that treats discomfort like danger.

I talk about:
    •    emotional reactions that don’t match the situation
    •    instant panic and delayed emotional crashes
    •    shutdown, numbness, and performance mode
    •    logic vs emotion (and why emotion wins)
    •    the shame and exhaustion that comes after

This is lived experience, not advice or therapy.
I’m naming what it feels like to live inside a dysregulated, neurodivergent nervous system — without sugar-coating it.

If you’ve ever felt:
    •    emotionally overwhelmed by small things
    •    stuck in a feeling that takes over the whole day
    •    calm in the moment but destroyed hours later
    •    ashamed of reactions you didn’t choose

…you’re not alone.
