I have no idea if I actually have this or not but my problem is that I silently cry and laugh at so many things that aren’t even sad or funny. I don’t sob (unless i start talking about said thing to someone) but instead I get choked up and have to hold back tears and laughter?? And I mean it’s small things like today I was with my mom and we were driving down the highway singing some songs in the radio and I had to periodically stop singing and face the window so she wouldnt see my crying and trying not to laugh. It’s like the smallest thing can cause me to get teary eyed and choked up and then I have to try and not laugh either
Yes. But for me, exaggerated and uncontrollable crying happens when I’m put in certain social situations. Don’t know if this is pba or not and no one believes me 😢
can anyone help me because today (not the first experience, it's happened many times) i found a funny video and kept laughing for 5 mins and i couldn't stop. right as i was laughing, i started crying uncontrollably. i wasn't sad, i was really happy actually but i couldn't stop. and it kept alternating between the two for like 10-15 minutes. i don't have any brain injuries whatsoever, what could that be?
I don't know if that pseudobulbar or not, but I laughed toady about something not really that funny , it's a teacher face expression. I'm frustrated with this because I'm the quiet student in class, so I made the laughter sound like a cough to not make myself look like an idiot. There's a lot of pressure lately in my life than the past 2 years. I want all this to stop
I think my friends mother may have this. A neighbor told her that their family member had just died in a car accident, and she started laughing uncontrollably. Obviously, it is very inappropriate, but she also has some obvious mental problems. I'm worried about her and my friend.
I've had this issue a long time without a name to it. But I don't think I have any of the things they say cause it. It makes me think the medical system is missing something. In Junior High I was kicked out of class for not being able to stop laughing. They said I could return when I stopped. So I went outside the door but every time I thought about entering the class room it would just start up again. I spent the rest of the class time laughing in the hallway. Some might say it is crazy and not psuedobublar effect. But it is hard to control. I really have throughout the years struggled trying to hold it all back because I know certain things aren't funny and I don't find them funny but I have trouble trying not to laugh. So, if you're a medical profession and you read this, do you think it could be caused by not being allowed to express negative emotions like crying or any display of anger? I am asking because I think maybe there might be other reasons for this. I don't know. When I watched the joker I related and thought that is me. I know it's not funny but I am laughing. And I find it strange that all these years in the psychiatric system this was never once mentioned to me. They just told me I had inappropriate laughter.
I searched for this at the realization that I had already experienced something similar to this in the past, though I have forgotten about it. A few nights ago, I was hanging out with a few friends on a trampoline until I fell over onto my back and started laughing. Though I saw everything around me, I was probably laughing for a consistent 20 minutes until I got a call from my mother. It turned into something sour, and it turned into uncontrollable sobbing. I'm still not positive PBA has anything to do with it yet, but if it is, I'm glad I know a little more about it.
I have PBA caused by a stroke. It’s the worst thing ever. I was a very conservative person. My daughters had never seen me cry. Only seen me laugh a few times because I was so scared of any emotional display. I’m so thankful that I can laugh and cry now. I truly believe I had the stroke because I needed to be a better person. I am really a different person. I had a walk in soul event recently. I no longer have depression anxiety and I was a sociopath before. It’s all gone now. I am always happy for the first time in my life. My daughters won’t let me get past the old me. They constantly remind me of how I was and try to make me suffer because now I have human emotions and I get hurt easily. I think they enjoy seeing me hurt. I was a good single father. I sacrificed my best years for them and I wouldn’t change anything. This is going too long I’m just lonely because everyone abandoned me after the stroke. Tgey stoke everything first though. God bless everyone 🙏😊🙏
Basic: sit down on your 10 toes, at the same time your left hand hugs your right hand, forming a ball shape, holding this position for as long as possible. After a few days, it will make you more agile! Advanced: stand on right toes, 2 hands as above, .....
I've been using the @MotusNova robotic hand device to keep my wrist moving and help me strengthen it. This helped me increase my range of motion by 20 degrees so far. It helps me stretch my hand and wrist which feels good when spasicity hits.
I'm trying to figure our what is wrong with me I thought it was twisted hip?. But i came across this exercise only it was just lifting the leg once and holding it for 20 seconds And boy do have trouble doinf that on a straight leg.. do u know what thos means?.. I also try doing other exercises and noticed i tip very much forward from the waist.. i dont know if its massive anterior pelvic tilt?. But also placing an ankle over the opposite knee on my left side stays up alot higher .. when i do a side leg stretch on the ground it's my right hip keeps clicking.. I don't know what all this means. I also did the thomas test at home by myself and one leg is higher and splays a little?. Please advise?.. Anyone I have trouble going to the doctor so trying to figure it out alone...
I haven’t been officially diagnosed, but I think I suffer from this. Whenever I’m at the dinner table and someone says a word which isn’t remotely funny, I just randomly burst out laughing. Even if someone is talking about something serious, some word which I find funny triggers me and I start laughing. I try so hard to hold it back, but then it just looks weird and everyone gives me weird looks. In those situations, I don’t even feel like laughing at all, but it just happens. I’m sick of dealing with this. It’s destroying my dignity and worsening my mental health.
PBA has basically ruined my social life. My family is too embarrassed to be around me, and it's impossible to hold a long - term job with this disability. Hopefully the red light therapy and magnetic stimulation can help relieve some of the symptoms. So far, it's been working on me. Maybe in a few years we will have more research into this and help for people like me.
This video is good but not specific. Injections? They didn’t name what is in the injections. I know what that injection is. It’s Botox. It’s not only used for wrinkles but reduce or blocks the signals to help relax the muscles to be more functional.
No one will ever understand you if have this I’llness . People will make fun of you and you have to avoid making anyone upset or angry . Live your whole life walking on egg shells .
00:18 I do not have any of these diseases but after my break-up 7 months ago I got uncontrollable laugh and cries. It was in last month when I did notice that happen, when I saw saw her with another guy holding hands, laughing, etc as soon as I saw her I started crying the crying wont stop and just after 5 minutes of crying I started laughing so bad that everyone around me had their eyes on me including her and her new guy. I think she did point a finger at me and said something to her guy but due to the uncontrollable laugh I was not in my senses, That laugh did continue for about a 20 minutes and after that I was emotion less.
I remember I tripped on a rock and my whole toe nail came off. I was literally crying and laughing at the same time and my parents thought I was crazy bruh I also had this muscle cramp in my neck and I was laughing so much. 💀
