🧠 Just because it’s invisible doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

Fibromyalgia is often misunderstood because others can’t “see” your pain. But your nervous system is sending pain signals more often and with more intensity than it should. Small sensations can feel overwhelming and exhausting, creating a cycle of stress, anxiety, and more pain.

💬 If you’ve felt misunderstood or dismissed because your illness isn’t visible, you are not alone.

💀 Ever been told “it’s all in your head”?

Another appointment. Another round of tests. Another dismissal.

Fibromyalgia is not imaginary, not in your head, and not “made up.” Feeling unheard is exhausting, but your symptoms are real — and you deserve to be validated.

💬 Have you ever been dismissed by a provider? You’re not alone.

🕯️ Another doctor’s appointment. Another round of questions. Still no answers.

“What brings you in today?” “What’s your pain score?” “Have you been doing anything differently?”

When you’re living with fibromyalgia, every appointment can feel like déjà vu — and every unanswered question adds to the frustration.

Fibromyalgia isn’t “in your head.” It’s a misunderstood illness that can leave you feeling haunted by pain and invisible to others.

💬 Have you ever felt unheard when describing your pain? You’re not alone.

Therapy and ADHD-informed strategies can help you reclaim emotional balance and quiet your inner critic. Start today.

The science behind RSD 🧠💥

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning the brain develops differently. Emotional dysregulation in ADHD is linked to structural and functional differences that make reactions to rejection more intense.

RSD isn’t a character flaw — it’s brain chemistry. Understanding this helps validate your experience and guide strategies for managing intense emotions.

10/21/2025

How does RSD show up in everyday life? 👻

1️⃣ The Phantom Critic: replaying small mistakes until they feel huge.
2️⃣ The Disappearing Act: avoiding people or projects to dodge rejection.
3️⃣ The Perfectionist’s Curse: overworking to prevent perceived failure.
4️⃣ The Possession of Emotion: instant, overwhelming reactions often followed by shame.

Understanding these patterns helps ADHD brains navigate Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria more effectively.

Emotional dysregulation in ADHD is often misunderstood. 🧠 Two key points to consider:
1️⃣ Developmental milestone: Emotional regulation improves with age, but ADHD brains have fewer pathways for managing emotions.
2️⃣ Environmental impact: Neurodivergent children hear more criticisms than peers, creating extra emotional strain.

Recognizing these factors helps validate experiences and guide effective strategies for managing RSD.

The DSM misses a critical piece of ADHD: emotional dysregulation. 🧠

Underdeveloped executive functions, especially emotional regulation, can ignite RSD. People with ADHD feel emotions intensely and experience more criticisms than peers, making them naturally more sensitive.

Experts recognize this as part of ADHD, but it’s often invisible in official diagnostic criteria — like a ghost everyone senses but no one officially names.

If RSD is common in ADHD, why isn’t it in the DSM? 🧠

The DSM lists observable behaviors of ADHD, not emotional experiences. ADHD criteria focus on what caregivers can see in childhood — not the intense emotions a neurodivergent brain experiences.

RSD is real, even if it’s “invisible” to the official criteria. Awareness is the first step to managing it.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Annapolis?

Just the beginning!

I am opening a private practice using telemental health. I use a secure platform to have video sessions with people in the (private) setting of their choice. There are no apps to download, no passwords to remember. It is as simple as receiving a text message on your smart phone and clicking a link. I venture to say it is easier than FaceTime or Skype. I have openings in the evenings to help accommodate busy schedules. I accept BlueCross and self pay. I work with individuals going through all types of struggle, I have a strong background in trauma, addiction, and veteran (and veteran family) support.
