“Rejection-sensitive Dysphoria can be triggered by the rejection of approval, love, respect, teasing, criticism (even if constructive), and ruminating self-criticism or negative self-talk prompted by possible or real failure. This dysphoria will quickly flip a woman’s mood and match the perspective of failure. Because of the instant emotional switch when triggered, RSD can be mistaken for a full major mood disorder, including suicidal thoughts, especially with continued internalization.”

“The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) gives some suggestions to help build stronger executive function skills. ●     Break down any tasks into something smaller with a step-by-step approach. ●     Use organizing tools like planners, computer calendars, watches, timers, and apps. ●     Use visual aids like flow charts to review project milestones. Review these every day (or many times a day). ●     Ask for verbal and written directions so you can catch all the details.”
