I've heard about 'rejection-sensitive dysphoria' as a phenomenon frequent to ppl with ADHD but I don't know much about it and I think I deal with it a lot and that it's becoming a big problem in my relationship. Does anyone else deal with this / have tips?

yeah I read that article as well and I was blown away. it describes me to the T. I never had the words to describe it. I know adhd we have trouble with emotions regulations so maybe talk CBT theapist to help. I have CBT therapist and I also take and its helped a lot methylphenidate. I was on Vyvnase but it made me moody and I was crying all the time. I switched to this few weeks ago and I feel like a whole new person.
Anyone with ADHD who been diagnosed I would highly recommend CBT. It will help you gain tools to help you in every aspect of you life when symptoms flare up. I use to be emotional wreck but I have learned how to self sooth myself. It is known that ADHD people dont know how to self sooth so emotions are that much harder for us. So learning about emotions and understanding will help you.

Wow that is definitely me. Its nice to know that someone else understands.

Its just the brain doing stuff, remember, we are not choosing to be this way, its just the brain. We are above the feelings.

Best of luck. Ive found spending time with good friends is the best medicine.
