3 Defining Features of ADHD That Everyone Overlooks

note-a-bear:

“When we step back and ask, “What does everyone with ADHD have in common, that people without ADHD don’t experience?” a different set of symptoms take shape.


From this perspective, three defining features of ADHD emerge that explain every aspect of the condition:

1. an interest-based nervous system

2. emotional hyperarousal

3. rejection sensitivity”

Oh

I've been looking for this post for awhile!  finally found it  I do not have add but  I've never seen a more accurate description of what rejection feels like for me than this description right here  for a long long time I thought I was just being dramatic or sensitive like my mom said  because whenever someone I cared about even hinted that I'd done something wrong  it felt like my entire world was ending  my brain would just replay what I'd done on loop for days or until the rejection had been resolved  I couldn't eat or sleep or think about anything else  it took a lot of therapy and trust to open up about those feelings and why I always felt on the hinge of ruining everything  at least when this happens these days the ppl that matter know what my brain is doing  anxiety is a bitch lol  I just rly wanted this in my  important  Janelle's adventures  tags  but I guess I needed to explain why lol
