Hi there!
Since getting diagnosed a couple of weeks back and diving into the knowledge base about ADHD, I’ve figured out that I really suffer a lot from Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. I know that in the US RSD is sometimes treated with meds (though I don’t know which ones, personally) but I’m from the Netherlands and unsure if I have access to these (I have an appointment with my specialist about medication tomorrow).
What I’m mostly looking for right now is coping strategies, I haven’t been able to find any on the internet about how to cope with RSD, up until now I’ve been alternatively going with ignoring it until it goes away, telling myself off for getting upset, or getting overwhelmed by it and having mini breakdowns, which, I’ll admit, are not great strategies.
So, do any of you have strategies that you use yourself to manage RSD, or that you’ve been told by a therapist, found somewhere in a dark corner of the internet?
