The ADHD Rejection/Emotional spiral:
Someone comes in and doesn't speak to you.
You have a conversation and replay it over and over-I should have said...I shouldn't have said...They said...
Someone one doesn't return your text immediately.
The result: Anxiety, Feelings of Rejection, Overthinking, Overreaction to an interaction, etc.
It is called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. It is common to ADHD. It is caused by a brain wired to perceive emotions differently. It does not get an official DSM diagnosis, but it affects everything!
Coaching can help change your reactions through systems, role play and mindfulness activities. Dm me or email me at [email protected]
