Feeling easily overwhelmed, overly sensitive to criticism, or constantly tired? You’re not imagining it. Emotional sensitivity, rejection, and poor sleep often come from the same root: a lack of emotional clarity.
When you don’t know what you’re feeling, everything gets harder—your reactions, your sleep, even how you eat or respond to others. Verenigma helps you label and understand your emotions, so you feel more balanced, less reactive, and finally get the rest and relief you’ve been missing.

✔ 47% of users reported improved sleep

Leading to better mood, resilience, and decision-making.

Emotions can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or hard to identify. This is known as alexithymia—difficulty recognising and expressing feelings—which can lead to shutdowns, meltdowns, and emotional exhaustion.
💡 43% of people with ADHD also have alexithymia.
People experiencing these conditions are far more likely to face emotional dysregulation, which can show up in many ways—difficulty focusing, stress-driven eating, heightened anxiety, or trouble calming down.
Our diagram (pictured right) highlights how different conditions can overlap, creating unique challenges for each person. Verenigma helps you recognise and regulate emotions, no matter where you fall on the spectrum of experiences.
Alexithymia is common in ADHD, PTSD, and AuDHD, making emotional regulation even harder. It can lead to stress, overwhelm, and difficulty understanding your own emotions.
Take the TAS-DIF test below to see if alexithymia is affecting you.
This diagram illustrates how emotional dysregulation connects to depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and fatigue, with overlapping challenges like inattention, hyperarousal, emotional confusion, and sleep difficulties. Many people experience a mix of these symptoms, making emotional regulation a key factor in improving overall well-being.
ADHD isn’t just about attention—it’s about how emotions feel and how they’re managed. Many people with ADHD experience stronger, faster emotional responses and struggle with regulating them. This can lead to frustration, overwhelm, and mental exhaustion, making focus, motivation, and even sleep harder to maintain.
When emotions feel out of control, it’s easy to get stuck in cycles of stress, distraction, and fatigue. Emotional regulation isn’t just about “handling feelings”—it’s about creating the stability that allows your mind to focus, rest, and reset.
Verenigma helps you track and label emotions, making them easier to process. By improving emotional clarity, you’d feel more in control, less drained, and better able to focus on what matters—without emotional dysregulation pulling you off course.
Ease of Excitation, RSD, Sleep, and Emotional Clarity
Struggling with emotional overwhelm, restless nights, or sensitivity to rejection? Ease of Excitation (EOE), Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), and sleep issuesare deeply connected to emotional clarity—the ability to identify and regulate emotions.
When emotions feel vague or unmanageable, RSD triggers intense distress, EOE leads to sensory overload, and unresolved feelings cause racing thoughts and disrupted sleep. Misinterpreting emotions—like stress as hunger or anxiety as anger—can drive emotional eating and exhaustion.
By improving emotional clarity through affect labeling and structured routines, you can reduce overwhelm, improve sleep, and regain control. Verenigma helps you break the cycle for greater emotional balance and well-being.

Struggling with weight, cravings, or emotional eating? Emotions play a bigger role in weight than you might realise. When emotional regulation is difficult, it can lead to stress-driven eating, inconsistent energy levels, and difficulty maintaining healthy habits.
Unprocessed emotions often trigger cravings, impulsive eating, or using food as comfort, creating cycles that feel hard to break. At the same time, fatigue, stress, and sleep disruptions—all linked to emotional dysregulation—can make it harder to feel motivated or balanced.
Verenigma helps you identify emotional patterns, so you can recognise triggers and regain control over your choices. By improving emotional clarity, you’d build better habits, manage stress more effectively, and feel more in tune with your body’s needs.
Struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling rested? Poor sleep isn’t just about bedtime—it’s often the result of unprocessed emotions and mental overload that keep your brain in high alert.
When emotional regulation is out of balance, stress builds up, your thoughts race, and your body struggles to relax—making quality sleep harder to reach.
Verenigma helps you recognise, label, and process emotions throughout the day, so your mind can slow down at night. By improving emotional clarity, you can sleep more easily, rest more deeply, and wake up feeling truly restored.
ADHD often intensifies with hormonal changes. Fluctuations in estrogen—especially just after ovulation and before a period— disrupts focus, increase impulsivity, heighten emotional overwhelm, and worsens rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD). Sleep struggles, also tend to spike during these times, leaving you feeling exhausted and emotionally raw. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward relief.
One simple, science-backed tool is affect labelling: accurate naming what you're feeling about stress, anxiety, depression reduces its intensity. Verenigma gives accurate real time markers to navigate ADHD, hormones, and high expectations to manage these emotional cycles. Using this tool to understand that pressure creates space for more calm, control, and self-compassion for better sleep.
