Stop the spiral before it ruins your whole day

A text without an emoji (when there’s always an emoji.) A two-word reply. A face that shifts for half a second…. and suddenly you’re sure you did something wrong – replaying it for hours.

If a subtle cue can land like a devastating rejection, that’s not you being too sensitive. It’s rejection sensitivity. It’s common in ADHD women, and there are tools that can help. Here’s a simple guide to help you ride the RSD wave without crashing.

• What to do first — so the spiral has somewhere to go besides “I’m the problem.”
• What to do next — a strategy built for a nervous system that can’t be convinced to not “take it so personally.”
• How to reality-check with your partner — so you feel supported and like you’re not trying to ride this out alone.
• What to do to lessen the impact of RSD long-term — how to deal with the uncertainty that keeps lighting the fuse.

New to “RSD”? It’s that fast, physical, out-of-control hit you get from criticism or rejection (the one your logical brain can’t talk you down from. You’re not imagining it, and it’s not about being “too sensitive.”)
