While RSD is not recognized as a formal diagnosis, it is understood as an extreme sensitivity to what is perceived as criticism or rejection. There are many theories of what causes RSD, such as being tied to C-PTSD or it being an overreaction of one’s nervous system.
It can affect one’s reaction in many situations, such as they may be quick to jump to conclusions that could hurt their feelings, they may lash out in frustration or anger, they may become a people pleaser and be afraid to say “no” to others in fear of rejection, or they could just withdraw all together.
RSD is not exclusively experienced by ADHD folk and it is important to remember it also shares similar symptoms to conditions like PTSD, BPD, Social Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and others. What is usually used to define RSD separately is that while the reactions can be intense, they usually do not last long.
So, what can help RSD? Here are some peer to peer tips:
1.) Clear Communication. Do not be afraid of asking direct questions or asking for clarification when you are not sure how the person you’re speaking with feels. Better to know the answer, if possible, than let your mind make up it’s own negative one.
2.) Take a step back and give yourself some space. If you are feeling overwhelmed, try to remove yourself from the situation, if you can.
3.) Talk to someone you trust. Sometimes we just need to talk it out and get another perspective.
4.) Therapy. Hear me out. While therapy CANNOT fix RSD, a therapist can teach you techniques to help you better understand and process your emotions.
5.) Medication. Some ADHDers have found their medication can help alleviate the symptoms they would associate with RSD. Check with a medical professional if this is the right option for you. Do not self prescribe or self medicate with prescription drugs.
6.) Last, but most importantly, find a supportive community! One of the worst feelings is thinking that you are alone in your RSD struggles, but there are plenty of people out there who experience the same thing. Sharing experiences and having a community to lean on when needed can make all the difference in the world. You are not alone!
I'm not sure how to feel about this....
Sean? Are you okay?

I’ve been a mess almost all day thinking about The BOSS again, so I decided to kinda play around with some of the audio from Seán’s final message to the player. This is what I came up with. It’s a little bit rearranged from the original dialogue in the game, but… if you need to hear his voice tell you that you are worth it and that you are important to him and to the community, this is for you.
Hol on, I just got another stupid shower thought.
Those moments when the egos has black eyes, are their eyes literally turned into the crystal ball? Like they can see what it has seen and such, they get visions and information about future or past events.
Like literally when they have black eyes they see what the crystal ball will show them?!
(As far as I know Anti has appeared with black eyes the most of all egos, what if he is using the visions from the crystal ball to plan on attacks and such so he'll know when he can strike or possess or harm sean or the other ego's in any way possible and such, cuz he has probably seen the future and/or the past, giving him knowledge that maybe only Marvin has except for him)
Like when anti first appeared he was more aggressive and stabby, but what if he found the crystal ball (like shortly after his first canon appearance) and found what it could do. That is why as the years has passed hes getting more smart, planning in detail and knowing almost exactly when to attack and how and such.
And the video we just got of Marvin on Halloween.
What if the stuff he saw in the crystal is a example of information that anti uses to precisely plan his attacks.
Like anti has seen stuff he shouldn't have and now it's in the wrong hands.
(Cuz he has probably been using the crystal ball without Marvin knowing.)
Like in unus annus, "death is inevitable"
I feel in my soul and heart that something will happen, since anti probably found the powers of the crystal ball after he first canonically appeared, he has probably been carefully working on a perfect plan after he probably discovered the crystal ball, using it in secret without a single soul knowing what's going on.
I drew myself a few days ago.
I know it's super ugly...
