Hi,

I'm glad to find somewhere that may get me.

I was newly diagnosed at 48 last year. I have found RSD and gone Wow! That's me from a young age.

    It's help me feel I understand things I've struggled with a little better and having a name for when I feel mentally attacked (RSD). I have now passed over to family members, who can see that is me.

    In turn it hopefully means I can get the correct support for 1 of my children, that people say ia my mini me.

    Hello Beth, her another 1977 woman :) How are you today? I hope you're gonna find your way around us here, talking about whatever comes up. If you're into crafting, I am curious about it and you can share it in the kaleidoscope thread. Or pets…

    And do you mind explaining RSD? Apparently there are two medical abbreviations, so I am a bit confused.

    You enjoy the rest of your day

    Hello Fellow 1977er,

    RSD is an unrecognised symptom of ADHD in the UK. It's long name is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria.
