Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is much more than having rejection issues, it's having trouble handling relationships and our very own emotions.

Furs with RSD may have a hard time handling situations, whether from an outside source or from themselves, that deal with rejection, teasing, and criticism. We are very sensitive to what people think of us or what they say to us!

RSD is typically common in:

People with ADHD

Sadly these two go hand in hand as people with ADHD are more prone to having ADHD and in most cases if they have RSD there's a good chance they have ADHD as well.

Here are some signs of RSD taken from WebMD itself!

Be easily embarrassed

Get very angry or have an emotional outburst when they feel like someone has hurt or rejected them

Set high standards for themselves they often can't meet

Have low self-esteem

Feel anxious, especially in social settings

Have problems with relationships

Stay away from social situations and withdraw from other people

Feel like a failure because they haven't lived up to other people's expectations

Sometimes think about hurting themselves

If you think you struggle with RSD or even ADHD please see a therapist, get diagnosed and start a treatment plan if you can!
