My husband self diagnosed himself. I have to say that things have really improved since he figured it out. It’s not perfect but he can catch himself now.

For both the anxiety and the RSD. They feed off each other and there's usually an underlying cause for both of them.

RSD isn't given as a diagnosis anywhere. It's just a term that explains the extreme reactions some people have to criticism and perceived rejection. Obviously this child has other things going on. I was just wondering if anyone dealt with this from a parenting end and how.


I used to be like this.

I was a rejected unwanted child with self esteem below zero.
since starting to heal, I am much better.

The people in my life who have it certainly don't think they're perfect. in fact, it's the opposite.
They are very down on themselves.

If I bring up something to dh that he does that hurts me, he literally gets down and depressed for a few days wondering how such a horrible person he could be for hurting me.

It took a long time for me to understand this, I kept saying "I don't get it, YOU hurt ME, how is this all about YOU now?"


I was the same.

if I acknowledged that I hurt someone I would be sick and depressed about.

I knew it wasnt healthy and its not because I am a nice person but because
I hate myself and cant accept myself for doing it...

dont know how to explain...

Yes, there's an underlying cause and we're dealing with but there are no quick or easy fixes. I still need to parent my child.
