Isolation due to rejection sensitivity
ADHD Support / by Moodymoonbug2896

...See more Hi all, I'm Ashley. I'm 29 and I've been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD since 4th grade. I was medicated for the first two years but the side affects from the stimulants were too much for my parents to handle. So I have been untreated for most of my life. I'm not hyperactive but I struggle with impulse control and rejection. I find that I seem to destroy my friendships with these issues. I'm lonely but as soon as I open up to friends about these things, I'm told that I'm using my mental health as an excuse to be a bad friend. I gave up on all my friendships this summer because of this. It feels hopeless. I can't afford therapy yet but I'm counting the days until my partner's work benefits kick in. I guess I do feel like a bad person. The over sharing, saying whatever comes to mind, and complete emotional turmoil that happens after a perceived rejection or judgement. It's so much to handle but everyone has problems so why can't I just hang on to friendships and treat people right? It feels exhausting when I do and then the resentment builds because no one is trying to understand why I'm like this. They just want me to fix it. Any advice?
