RSD: The Part of ADHD Nobody Warned Me About
from The Weighted Blanket · host Claire De Oliveira - The Weighted Blanket
If you have ADHD and you've ever been called too sensitive, too emotional, too much — this episode is for you.Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. RSD. It's one of the most common and least talked about parts of ADHD — and for around 30% of people with ADHD, it's the most impairing symptom of all. Not the focus issues. Not the time blindness. The emotional pain.I've just come back from seeing Alex Partridge talk about RSD live. And I've been thinking about it ever since. Because RSD shaped so much of my life before I even knew it had a name.In this episode I talk about what RSD actually is, what it cost me — the relationships I cut, the work meetings I cried after, the guitar my husband played for twenty minutes longer than he said he would — and what actually helps.Because knowing the name changes everything.You are not too sensitive. You never were. 🤍🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033hbR3h5qo6TD3WxWF8FL 🍎 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weighted-blanket 👥 Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1000143112417292/ 🔗 Everything else: https://linktr.ee/theweightedblanket 📧 [email protected]
