ADHD/ADD and Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria So, I've had ADD almost my entire life and I always had trouble in school by never doing my homework or studying. I'm prescribed a stimulant but I rarely take it because of the side effects. I have so much trouble doing stuff on the weekend because I can never decide on something due to not being able to make up my mind. Throw in social anxiety and that makes it a very tall task which usually makes me just isolate myself. I absolutely have to rely on people to invite/persuade me to do something otherwise I won't do anything. I read people's comments about owning your stutter but I just cannot fathom doing this in my everyday life. It honestly sounds impossible due to my intense social anxiety that has snowballed ever since my stuttering got worse. I very much have RSD and it's a killer. Anytime I stop hearing back from a girl I take it pretty badly and I'll be depressed about it for a couple of days. Embarrassing moments also stick around in my head for so long. I just wondered if anyone else has RSD and if they learned how to deal with it. I'm on an anti-depressant AND a mood disorder medication but I still have so much trouble with RSD. It has consumed my everyday life and this is just no way to live. Here's a very informative article. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rzsjp65q0fu6r8o/Lauren%20RSD.PDF?dl=0 Page 5 is missing but here it is.https://imgur.com/ObbYg4I
