Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria often causes emotional outbursts, painful reception to perceived rejections, among a myriad of other symptoms that go hand in hand with ADHD and emotional regulation

This is a small look into my struggle

Pt 2

A lot of people don’t realize just how energy and time consuming RSD can be. It’s not always something we see coming either, so when others see our reactions, it can take them by surprise.

Pt. 3

Because of that, our reactions can seem intense, and even to ourselves they are intense and they are big, so it can be hard being able to recognize and try to redirect our emotion and attention to something else. But having a support system is a life saver!!

I also just want to thank @ADHD_Alien for letting me take part in this. Honestly I have no words as this last year has been rough and being part of this comic collab has helped to gradually pull me back out of a hiatus.

⬇️

My RSD did contribute to that as I’m nowhere near where my skill was artistically last year, so I do still struggle with it. But as I mentioned before, I’m finding ways to help me work around and work with this aspect of my adhd to try and make progress, no matter how small.

Please know that this was a very personal comic for me, and it still is. It’s hard for me to illustrate my emotions into pieces, esp ones that were defining points in my past.

Also please know you aren’t alone if you struggle with this aspect of RSD

If anyone has any ways that help you personally with RSD, feel free to share your best tips!

Something that’s helped me is to remove myself from the situation and run my hands under cold water. Afterwards I wind up talking to my friends for a better perspective =)

Also I’m currently traveling and am about to board a flight. So if I don’t respond back, that’s why!

I want to thank you all for your love youve show so far... 💛💛💛💛
honestly it means a lot more than I have words for... def shed some tears while in the airport skdkkdkd 😭
