Yes. sometimes just having to deal with one person delivering my shopping can make me.feel like that, it depends on the person delivering and how I am coping that day.

Sorry, I hadn’t intended to give advice but will be more careful in future about using the names of medications and treatments

Hi Kate

My wife suffers from Rejection Sensitivity. It goes back to her childhood with a mother who wasn’t nurturing or kind, was usually critical and rarely gave her validation. She sought psychiatric help for a variety of emotional issues and this seemed to be part of EUPD, though she had, fortunately, insufficient of the other diagnostic features to get this diagnosis. 

She was very open with me about her mental health struggles right from out first date and even though she still occasionally experiences this it is very very much less due to stability and in depth communication we have as a couple. We are both in our 60s btw. 

Wishing you well

I keep having to talk to more and more people at work so I'm feeling super discombobulated at the moment. I've been turning the radio up really loud on my drive home to try and shake the feeling, but that only works very temporarily.

I need to get back into yoga and meditation, but it's very hard to start back up!

Yes. My husband has reassured me so many times after I’ve been speaking to someone that it all went ok - but somehow no matter what he says I never really believe it. Recently I learned about Rejection sensitive dysphoria- and I really identified with that. I think deep down I always have an underlying believe that everyone kind of hates me. Rationally I know that can’t REALLY be the case - but that belief still sticks with me like glue. 

Me too and with people I already know.

I know how you feel. I always worry about what kind of impression I might leave on new people

I think I get what you mean. I felt a strangeness when I received my ASD diagnosis, possibly because I couldn’t absorb the magnitude of the number of things that weren’t ’my fault’. 

Today I’ve been feeling disturbed at some of the affairs of the world.

Talking to people (other than my closest family) always leaves me feeling unsettled. And as you say - often I can’t pinpoint exactly what I might have done wrong (if anything) etc. I’m working on  learning to ‘let go’ of worrying thoughts like this. Dwelling on it doesn’t help me, or anyone else - so I just mental,y tell myself to STOP ruminating on it, and try not to care what other people think of me. Easier said than done of course. But it’s a work in progress. 

Its one of those words without a universal meaning, but if we read it as anxiety then yes, very much and several times a week. I feel guilt, or fear, often that deep strange self loathing, none of these having an obvious cause. I think sometimes a fleeting negative thought or image can trigger this then it disappears but the feelings remain. 

Im pretty sure too that its connected with trauma in my case, always expecting the worst, most dreadful outcomes. No one can talk me out of these thoughts, as in the past the worst possible outcome has happened too often. [removed by mod] but preferable is lengthy deep sleep which often re sets me.
