My son and I both experience this. He gets extremely.over whelmed even it I yell or scold him or tell him to clean his room or homework etc. Doesn't matter what it is, he's easily overwhelmed and cries. He also hyperventilate and Saya he feels he's having some type of nervous breakdown or panic attack. He's in 7th grade now, just joined the soccer team and hasn't been fully diagnosed. I'm almost positive he has bart along with Lyme that I already know he had. When he was bit, he had an eschar which I believe can be from rickettsia so I guess he'll be getting tested for all the good stuff . He's extremely moody and even talking sets him off. I suffer with the same although I have lots of c ptsd , trauma and bpd. Sometimes I wonder if bart is the hig3 culprit lol. When we cry , ppl will tell us to suck it up and stop being sensitive bt seriously we can't help it, it just happens. I rage often as my son does. My son cries even if I tell him he can't have something. If someone laughs at him or looks at him wrong it sets him off. He was never like this until lyme. Bart also causes emotional regulation issues big time that its almost impossible to control our emotions. We struggle daily. My son gets depressed, panic attacks and is always moody to cry or sleep it off. It hurts to see people like this weather it's family or not , because it's a terrible illness that ppl just don't understand.
