Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and ADHD
For many adults with ADHD, even minor criticisms or perceived slights can feel catastrophic.
Is this simply part of ADHD’s emotional dysregulation, or does something more specific - RSD - exist within the experience?

I’ll be like “I’m don’t have ADHD or autism” and then cry because I set a boundary and someone accepted that boundary and I still processed it as rejection anyway. #RejectionSensitivity #RSD #ADHD #Autism #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #MentalHealthHumor #Boundaries #ActuallyADHD
Just wanted to give some love to neuro-divergent writers who are querying. Querying is tough in general, but for folks with #rejectionsensitivity each query is daunting. Putting yourself out there is brave and you deserve a forehead kiss 💋 and a cookie 🍪

I say I wouldn’t give up my #ADHD but then I have days like yesterday and today so far where I’ve wasted 2 days off work doing fuck all and when I try to it all goes wrong and now I just feel guilty and pissed off. #RSD hitting me hard at the mo. #rejectionsensitivity

I realized, what would help me the most is to hear positive feedback or encouragement if/when I do something that's actually good, or that represents progress (at any time/stage).

I’m starting to think that #neurodiverse folks should be lead by other ND folks.
My amazing bestie has loved me through my #rejectionsensitivity meltdowns and today I was on the receiving end of such a spiral from someone I know. It was so easy to understand how they got there & how to hold space
