Nina thought she was just "too sensitive" her whole life. A small comment from her boss about a typo sent her into a full panic attack—shaking hands, racing heart, convinced she was getting fired. It was just a typo on page 3.

This is what it's like living with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)—when your nervous system treats emotional pain like a physical emergency. If you've ever spiraled over a text message, quit a job over minor feedback, or ended relationships because the uncertainty was too painful, this story is for you.

In this video, Nina shares her journey of understanding RSD: from the 20,000 tiny criticisms in childhood that programmed her threat detector, to the breaking point that made her seek help, to learning practical tools to manage RSD in everyday life.

🧠 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
What Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) really is
Why small comments can trigger massive emotional responses
How RSD affects work, relationships, and self-esteem
The connection between ADHD and RSD
Practical strategies to manage RSD triggers
How to stop catastrophizing and people-pleasing
Why it's NOT your fault (but healing IS your responsibility)
