0:00:56.160,0:00:58.079 even if you sleep a good number of hours 0:00:58.079,0:01:00.160 each night you can never seem to catch 0:01:00.160,0:01:01.039 enough rest 0:01:01.039,0:01:02.399 this makes it hard to function during 0:01:02.399,0:01:04.720 the day number two 0:01:04.720,0:01:07.920 you're easily irritated and angered does 0:01:07.920,0:01:08.799 it seem like 0:01:08.799,0:01:11.200 everyone gets on your nerves even if 0:01:11.200,0:01:12.479 these people are well-meaning 0:01:12.479,0:01:15.280 you can't help but wish they'd go away 0:01:15.280,0:01:17.119 it's not uncommon for depressed people 0:01:17.119,0:01:18.640 to foster negative thoughts and feelings 0:01:18.640,0:01:20.320 about the people around them 0:01:20.320,0:01:22.320 while we all have those days where we 0:01:22.320,0:01:24.080 prefer to keep away from others 0:01:24.080,0:01:25.520 if you're noticing that you're pushing 0:01:25.520,0:01:27.520 people away more than normal or if a 0:01:27.520,0:01:29.040 friend is withdrawing from others 0:01:29.040,0:01:31.360 it can be a sign of something more 0:01:31.360,0:01:32.400 number three 0:01:32.400,0:01:34.880 you have a hard time with emotions how 0:01:34.880,0:01:36.400 do you feel right now 0:01:36.400,0:01:38.159 are you able to describe which emotions 0:01:38.159,0:01:39.759 you're experiencing 0:01:39.759,0:01:41.759 do

being unable to describe 0:01:49.200,0:01:50.399 how you feel 0:01:50.399,0:01:52.479 for example while you may notice that 0:01:52.479,0:01:53.600 your heart is racing 0:01:53.600,0:01:55.280 a normal person would be able to tell if 0:01:55.280,0:01:56.880 they're excited or nervous 0:01:56.880,0:01:58.960 easily on the other hand a person with 0:01:58.960,0:02:00.719 alexithymia wouldn't be able to 0:02:00.719,0:02:02.799 distinguish if it was fear or excitement 0:02:02.799,0:02:03.759 causing it 0:02:03.759,0:02:05.119 not knowing your emotions makes it 0:02:05.119,0:02:06.880 extremely
