What is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?

Video Description

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is common with ADHD and is a strong emotional reaction that can occur from any (real or perceived) criticism, rejection, discouragement, tease, etc. To the person experiencing the RSD, it can feel like a complete betrayal—a withdrawing of love or respect that causes deep pain. Often, this results in an explosive reaction, either externally via some sort of angry outburst, or internally as a feeling of instant and extreme depression. 00:00 What is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria? 01:02 The Feeling We Get Is Real 02:15 Dr. William Dodson: The Pain from RSD 02:30 The Effects of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria 04:10 Strategy: Label It As Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria 05:00 Strategy: Create Space 06:31 Strategy: Remember the Past Relationship 07:06 Strategy: Reduce Stress RESOURCES: 📝 What You Need To Know About Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (Black Girl, Lost Keys) https://blackgirllostkeys.com/adhd/adhd-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria 📝 How ADHD Ignites Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (ADDitude Magazine) https://www.additudemag.com/rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-and-adhd/ 📝 What Is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?
