I’m curious because I noticed the medication I’m currently on helps me emotionally regulate myself but doesn’t prevent me from thinking about how it still sucks.

I’m trying my damndest to reframe how I think about things. God is it hard though 😮‍💨

    I have untreated adhd, but just started treating my anxiety/depression a few months ago. The rejection anxiety is slowly but surely getting better. Just got rejected after going on two dates with someone, the first two dates I've been on in years, and I feel fine! Yay rejection!

      I’m still hung up on two rejections from 6 months ago 💀 it’s wild though because I just suddenly started caring about it again randomly? I hate it

      I personally freak out when my supervisor changes his tone to somewhat negative because I think it means I’m about to get fired, I take it personal when someone says “no” to me in any context, etc

      Hell, even I have a hard time rejecting people

      I am unwell

        Yeah, I was like that all my life. I'm very lucky the medication I was put on worked for me like a miracle first try. I mean, rejection still sucks, but that's normal. I don't avoid it all costs anymore. I wish medications worked the same for everyone.

          Yeah most people I know can acknowledge it sucks and just move on. Wish I had that power

          The medication I take has greatly improved my life in other areas but not this one for some reason
