    for me it is something cognitive. To me the exact moment i realize i am being misunderstood, provides the information that i have to either justify myself, lie or accept being misjudged and live with a reputation of guilt. Many times people confuse the cognitive stess with a fragile ego, but nooooo, its the complication thats exhausting. BTW most people aren't good at giving constructive kritique

    What bothers me the most is not being diagnosed with ADHD at an earlier stage. My mission is to create sufficient resources to support individuals struggling with ADHD, particularly young children, who often face a challenging and traumatic experience due to this condition's overwhelming impact on their daily lives.

    I like to compete with the timer with short tasks. 17:12 I tell myself, “I bet I can put away the mail properly in less than 18 minutes.” I try to guess as close as I really think it’ll take, and then see if I can be faster. I do not have a competitive spirit what so ever. It’s my sort of backwards self-motivation.

    Dude you know well that these type of books don't help much, a giant book is the classic overwhelm for anyone with adhd. People need bite sized formats with adhd. Did Dani pay you to review? If so please disclose it. You may not like this comment but I hope it makes others aware that this is just another marketing platform. Anyone who reads this please watch dr.russell barkley, who has a wealth of free information on adhd that has ZERO marketing intentions and only seeks to help educate and help others.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed by breaking a project up into small steps! It does work for me...as long as I convince myself that the ONLY thing that needs to be done is the first small step and the rest doesn't exist. It's not a fool-proof system but it does help break the inertia.

    So for the people on the receiving end of this disorder what do we do? The anger we receive from this disorder is not easy to understand or how to figure out what to do to help our loved ones when they feel like this because sometimes we get our feelings hurt by these actions from RSD?

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 🗣️ Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a term used to describe intense emotional reactions to perceived criticism or rejection, often associated with ADHD. 💔 Individuals with RSD experience feelings that are disproportionately severe compared to the actual criticism received, often feeling betrayed or deeply hurt. 🌪️ Reactions can range from rage and anger to profound sadness or emotional shutdown, significantly affecting the person's state of mind. 🔄 RSD can lead to extreme behaviors such as becoming a people pleaser or overachiever to avoid potential criticism or withdrawing socially to avoid scrutiny. 🛑 Recognizing the signs of RSD can help manage reactions by identifying them as disproportionate responses rather than realistic reflections of external criticisms. 🕰️ Creating space after an RSD episode allows for a calmer reassessment of the situation and can prevent immediate, regrettable reactions. 🔍 Reflecting on past positive interactions with the person who triggered the RSD can help assess the likelihood of intended harm, often revealing a misunderstanding. 🌿 Reducing overall stress and maintaining good mental health are essential in managing the frequency and intensity of RSD episodes.

    This is exactly why I take neurotypicals' advice on ANYTHING with a grain of salt. They typically have no idea what they're talking about. They only know what works for them and that their solution will work for everyone else. Human egocentrism at its finest. It's not their fault...but it's not ours, either. What is hurtful is when the NT not only doesn't understand, but doesn't WANT to understand.

    One of the best ways for me to get things done is when I have something I have to do. Then everything else but that thing gets done. “ I have to file this paper work today” next thing I know I’ve done the dishes worked on art projects and even caught up on emails.

I better clean the rest of it while I'm at it. You can use this strategy on many hard tasks in your daily life. Need to clean the bathroom? Start with cleaning only the sink or mirrors.
