I'm glad because it is mostly uncontrollable without medication and no medication works for more than a month or two.
I've been seeing a therapist for years, thanks, and she has been amazing at giving me ways to deal with my EDS. And trust me when I say that I am well known to my friends and family as being a sometimes too empathic person with metric fucktonnes of compassion. Self control? Nope, and I was born that way and the first thirty years of my life was a living hell until I finally found a doctor that could diagnose me correctly.
And trust me, typing long winded responses to people who have already blocked me is a legit part of my therapy.
Have a day, I hope we shan't meet again.
