Default RSD and the limbic system

There is also a physiological reason for the emotional lability. In a flare, emotions are not going to the upper parts of the brain where we analyze and respond appropriately, so we "react" only through the limbic system (or the instinctual reactions that are created in the base of the brain like a reflex). It is actually a part of this disease for our emotions to go nuts. It sucks, but at least once I was told this, I was a bit less hard on myself.
