Do you have rejection sensitive dysphoria?? #Drsasha #adhd #shorts

[tracythomas]

It makes me feel like a heartbreak. Like my heart is actually cracking.

[ear]

The physical pains suck. It also sucks knowing my upset is so much more than the issue itself hurts way more.

I've just found out about RSD...
I now know why I can't take people's help or feel like I Cant trust people...

[sarahdecoste]

Me too I can barely ask for anyone to do the slightest thing to help me! Since I was a kid! Like I wasn’t worth them bothering or they say no because they don’t like me.

I've just completely disengaged over the years. I used to get so upset and just destroyed over this in high school and actually ruined my friendships. Now I'm in my 20s and I'm afraid to make any friends other than my husband.😅

I'm the same with energy matching. If someone comes to me in a sad energy while I'm upbeat or happy I feel confused and so fucking hurt that I wanna cry. Or angry or mad. I'll come to work and not understand why someone doesn't want to talk to me (they may be focused on their JOB) lol but in my mind they're ignoring me and abandoning me. Or when someone gives me criticism on how I could have done something better or I could have been smarter in a situation i get very upset and really hurt.

My son gets bothered if I mess around with him and kinda pick fun of him... even if no ones around us! And not that I make fun of my kiddo but if he does something silly and we laugh about it together.... he still gets embarrassed! I always reassure him that there's no reason to feel embarrassed bc we all do silly things at times and there's nothing wrong with laughing about it!

True. You can literally feel your chest go twang and it takes your breath away.

[shawna]

That's what that ache is?!?! WOW!! Thank you!

[winros]

Yes being in that situation with my ex's family I was ignored and he couldn't understand why I didn't want to go over there for the holidays! I would be in conversation and all of a sudden there I am sitting alone that lead me to just drink more wine while I was there and keep to myself thank goodness those days are over however, I cannot ask anyone for help if I have no choice and it takes everything I have to ask for the littlest thing I feel as though I will have to owe the person my life how crazy is that? I don't feel like deserve the best in life I'll always settle for less than as far as to be anything I'll take the smallest state the smallest ice cream cone the smallest drink! I think maybe I'll get a large ice cream tomorrow with extra extra jimmies onto my extra large ice cream cone LOL I feel so undeserving for any material things! I'll show them! you know what will happen I'll have too many things in my hands wind up knocking over my extra extra large ice cream cone then cleaning it up going home getting my power washer so it's not sticky at the ice cream parlor tell them sorry a thousand times leave there just look at my fingers!

For me it's like a black hole in my chest. That sucking feeling. And like I've seen other people said, we know it's disproportionate a lot of the time and that creates guilt and depression also

And you replay the issue over and over for even years. Negative things arnt just negative and pass….. you relive them, replay them… and usually avoid putting yourself back in any kinda situation that could end the same. You over think all of it. I have adhd and my daughter does not and her way of thinking mesmerizes me how she does it.

[TarisLuna]

For me it's the feeling as if my blood leaves my upper body from second to the other, ringing in my ears, dizziness and either freezing in place or wanting to immediately turn 180 and run.

[PotterYouRotter]

I think both me and my mom suffer with this without proper treatment and management and it results in both of us feeling extremely targeted by each other. It is almost impossible for me to ask her to change the way she does something, or ask her to just stop doing something, because her reaction is to physically stop and yell at me defensively, which in turn makes me feel that rejection and fear in the future before I've even asked or said anything.

I wish your videos you could roll it back and forth instead of having to rewatch the whole thing that actually stresses me out. I'd like to rewind it a little bit listen to it again I might have to do it several times just cuz I have auditory processing disorder. If you could make your videos like that I'd appreciate that

[kevinwillems]

Yeah, like, the amount of things I've avoided because of RSD, so many.
Like I'll sometimes have to hype myself up
Last time I wanted to send a professional email where the worst response is them not reaching out to me about a possible job, that I had to listen to both versions of Jeff Rosenstock's album No Dream(the other version is Ska Dream. ) to get the emotional energy to send it.

When people haven't gone through something then to them it's not a real thing and just get over it. But if they go through something and other people don't understand, we'll that's different. I hope he doesn't talk like this to people that do have this because it will put another reason why they are stupid or a failure and figure out everyone would be better without them in the world. So if this gentleman doesn't want to understand or care to because it's in our heads, and you don't want to know what goes on in there lol, then that he doesn't state his a opinion on something that can wreak a person more and there are enough suicides because people don't listen or don't understand and it could also be because they feel the f***ed up as usual and run through all their failures for the 5th time that day and just fell defeated and you just want the pain of it all to just stop n they stop it.

[milagrosuphill]

I never reflected over it being an illness or not because it's pointless to me since I can't afford any therapy.

However, these rejection and anxiety fears would affect me to the point where I stand behind doors for a long while sometimes when ik other people that make me anxious are on the other side because I'm so afraid and it's every time. And I neglect my needs or try to ignore it most of the time so I don't have to face anyone. And you could argue everything is "fine".

Or, the time I had to quit the most abusive place I had to hide in some store afterwards because I couldn't stop myself from tearing down and crying even though I tried really hard not to since I was in public.

Wow, you are teaching me something so new! I love learning about people! 🤗

Do you know why people with ADHD bite their nails so much? I have primarily inattentive ADHD and have been biting my nails for 20 years and can’t stop no matter what I try.
