Hello,

I am new here -- thought I'd drop in...wanted see what others thought about not begin able to recoginize your own mental state. I was recently diagnosed type 2, and looking back it explains a lot.

For years I hid it under alcohol and other things, and exasperated it with those as well -- but I found that years of masking my emotional state and then sobering up, I don't really have any skills at knowing what I am feeling at any given moment...I just don't...my wife tells me she can tell if I am hypo or if I am depressed -- but unless I look BACK on it, I could have told you in the moment what I was feeling.

Anyone else experience this?
