Do you have intense emotions over verbal ability?

Does anyone's feelings take over their body? With happiness or something else?
My speech can slow way down and become monotonous when it quickly gets intense.

In my sleeping dreams, I experience intense emotions- frustrations, crying from sadness, meltdowns. In both, it's like I get lost. I'm always nonverbal or partially verbal in the ones with meltdowns (throwing things, making upset vocalizations).

I'm mostly pretty flat with my emotions and spend most of my time unaware of them but I know I can have large burst of "feelings".

it sounds to me like you are describing something along the lines of Stendahl's Syndrome which is where when you are exposed to something meaningful to you in a transcendent way, your somatic response is exaggerated with florid emotional expression.

I had a dream like that a month ago or so, that I was far lower functioning than I am in real life, and something was upsetting me, but I couldn't say anything so I just started screaming.

In real life, my emotions do rob me of my voice when they get too strong. When I get overwhelmed, my words disappear and the best I can manage is a garbled stuttering of syllables, which makes the overwhelm worse because I get frustrated and panicked that I can't say what I need or want.

The speech I have can become very simple yes/no answers, with only limited ability to explain what I can. What I do say has been very hard, in real life. This is what I meant to type earlier, plus talking gets tiring. This kind of thing is sort of common for me, so it's not new.

For those who are partially verbal the majority of time, I cannot really guess.

yeah when im on a roll my body can start to shake really badly which is weird. and when i get talking i can talk at lightning speed, like The Flash speed where no-one understands me at all but only when im excited. which i guess isnt a change considering i normally just screw up words and sentences so i usually dont talk (or only if needed) in public, theres weird times where i can think the word i want to say,i can feel myself willing my mouth and vocal cords to say it but my mouth and vocal cords do not obey, like the connection is broken. that bit only happens when im a bit tired or kinda sad. (which to be honest is the majority of the time)



to speak of dreams, in my dreams im usually completely mute, i never speak in my dreams, but im not an observer, its like being a silent protagonist i guess.
