KC Davis of Struggle Care had a great podcast episode on this subject. The title is a little clickbaity ("Is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Real?") but the topic is handled sensitively and with care. Bottom line is that the experience is a very real one, even if there's reasonable, good-faith debate over what the actual mechanism at play is. Like with BPD, an awful lot of people who experience RSD could also meet the diagnostic criteria for C-PTSD if we were able to accept that long-term masking & going undiagnosed for years can be a form of trauma.
Fantastic post, Rach. Thank you. I have focused so much on the autism stuff I still have quite a bit to learn about ADHD and this wasv informative and quite enlightening also!
This was SO GOOD and helpful! Thank you ❤️❤️

I did not know there was a name for this feeling. I thought I was just coming apart. Now that I recognize it, I ought to be able to manage it better.
Thank you!!!
