@chi_h emotional It's difficult - but if you've noticed it, it's already a win. I find that mindfulness helps - the practice of responding instead of reaction. I've had interpersonal issues at work because of Emotional lability too. The thing I've found disempowering with regards to this symptom is that all the advice is really for people around the PwMS, not the patient themselves. Try to make people around you aware of this issue. I have been linking them to https://www.mssociety.org.uk/about-ms/signs-and-symptoms/mental-health/other-mood-and-behaviour-changes. I've found meditation and mindfulness to be helpful - you can strengthen your sense of emotional balance, very much in the same way you can do so for physical balance. It also train you to observe your emotions without reacting to them, that is, without acting out on them. So hopefully mitigating the incidents and episodes affecting people around you. I've wrote an essay on this symptom: https://www.mstrust.org.uk/news/views-and-comments/mental-health-and-ms-emotional-balancing-act - you might find some of it helpful.

Hi @chi_h. Often when you go through a diagnosis, you come out the other side being more aware of what's important, and what isn't so. This can make you react to silly things that might not have bothered you previously. Personally, I have become a little less tolerant to things that people sometimes whinge and moan about! Equally, emotions can be exaggerated. For example, sometimes if I see something funny, like a Youtube clip, I end up crying with uncontained laughter. So yes, it can be a 'thing' with MS. But at least you recognise that, which is a good start! :-)
