RSD: The ADHD Symptom That Makes You Want to Change Your Name and Move to Costa Rica

It's 3am. You're staring at the ceiling, spiralling about a text you sent a month ago, convinced everyone hates you, and mentally planning a new life in Costa Rica. Sound familiar? This week Emily and Megan dedicate a full episode to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — one of the most misunderstood and all-consuming parts of ADHD.They cover what RSD actually is (and why it's different from just "being sensitive"), the fight-or-flight response that makes your brain treat a thumbs-up emoji like a five-alarm emergency, why so many people with ADHD spent years thinking they had paranoia, and practical tools for managing RSD day-to-day.If you've ever felt like your reaction to rejection was completely out of proportion — you're not broken, and you're not alone.
