Well I hae a date this evening, and despite my usual STRONG urge tae cancel, I will show up. #Dating #Polyamory #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria #SelfLoathing

Taedae was a "bridge day". Some o' ye ken what that means.. #SuicidalIdeations #SelfLoathing #Dysthymia #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria

My explanation for MANY of mah reactions are #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria and severe #SelfHatred. I hate this but I also cannae escape it. My #MentalHealth team helps me cope, but mah monsters hae the upper hand as it were. #ImVeryBroken #ImSorry

Now I hae a date on Friday. I will go oan the first one, then most likely craft some awkward reason tae convey there wilnae be any subsequent. #Runner #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria #SelfLoathing

a fun thing about #RSD is that when nobody likes or interacts with your post, you get to wonder for hours, days weeks & years if they just didn't see it or if they muted you, or if they just hate you for that thing you didn't say in quite the right tone of voice, or with the exactly right facial expression one time several years ago

Subject: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)

I need info and resources on this - all help appreciated!

I feel silly as I've seen some great material but can't remember what & from whom...

Got an official job offer today (yay!), which specifies 6 months trial period, so now I’m already worrying I won’t be good enough and get fired. I hate my brain. And my trauma.

The logic is that they’re very excited to have me join so, of course and most obviously, I will fall short. Why am I like this? 😒

I feel #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria pretty intensely and have my entire life. I feel physical pain in my arms and legs if I do something ‘wrong’ or make a ‘mistake’ for hours afterwards. If you tell me 10 good things about myself and 1 bad, I focus on the bad. But I didn’t have a name for it until about six months ago when I asked my therapist if she thought I was #neurodivergent. I was 39.

😩 Having serious RSD this week from ComicConPT. A bunch of the cosplayers I met did this insta story challenge where you redact the names of the first 20 followers listed when you view that page, and then write over the redaction with something about that follower. Some of them wrote things that implied the person made a bad first impression, and for some dumb reason my brain keeps saying it's me.
Not helped by the 'random chat' I had earlier this week with a US-based coworker (a thing you can sign up to do, to meet colleagues that you might not otherwise talk to) and at the end she commented how these are meant for both people to find out about each other and now my brain is telling me that this means I was talking too much and need to shut up more.
😕

I think the most frustrating thing for me about #RSD is that it hijacks my brain when I least expect it.

The visceral gut punch. The shaking, nausea. The total loss of rational thought. Just a flood of pain & humiliation & panic. Drowning in a storm I can't control.

And the whispers in my brain. Not words. Just this deep down certainty confirming my worst fears.

Bc past #trauma has proven those whispers to be true.

I think this platform will be a positive where it comes to my #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria. I'm getting good vibes..

Found this live-streamed discussion from #AUcademy (which I missed the start and end of – so catching up now) to be a very interesting dive into (heightened) #RejectionSensitivity (or #RSD, #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria as those who pathologise us would have it):

Thanks to Chloe, Victoria, Ben and Si for sharing their thoughts (and to those whose interesting comments were shared)

Because I saw it on the birdsite, I began writing a commentary there:
