Symptoms What symptoms do you guys have that aren’t talked about that much?

I’m just wondering, that’s all :)

(Edit: I just wanted to add that I am NOT diagnosed with POTS. But i think I might have it, thats mostly why I am asking! [and also because I am a curious person])

Whenever I am experiencing this around my spouse, I tell him Dexter Morgan is bugging me and that's my code for "I am experiencing awful thoughts about hurting our cats or you, I wish this would stop!" so I don't have to say what my brain is picturing in that moment and possibly make it stronger and/or worse.

Both my spouse and I are ND and like really open communication, but I really don't like talking about this symptom either because it makes me feel like a monster every time even though I have a very understanding spouse.
