Emotional Hyper Awareness in ADHD Women #adhdwomen #emotionalawareness #mentalhealth

So we have emotional hyper-awareness. What is— what's some of your emotional hyper-awareness, like things that really set you off? This is, this is one of the reasons I think I became such a people pleaser when I was younger is I am really attuned to when other people are angry, even like a little sliver of anger, I will pick up on it. And it has taken me 33 years to realize I can just notice it and I don't have to do anything about it. Other people's anger, not my responsibility. What a concept! I love it. I just let people feel their feelings. But definitely that anger, and I think some of that absolutely stems from not knowing what RSD was and not understanding what that was doing. But picking up on people's anger became a way for me to protect myself from them launching it at me and then having to deal with the, like, very physical and emotional pain that came from RSD.
