LOOKED UP rejection dysphoria

​https://www.prosperhealth.io/blog/rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-in-autism

We learned this from therapist Hailey Light. 

Separately, Sean looked up and feels this fits: Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) is a recognized mental health condition characterized by extreme social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation. People with AvPD intensely fear rejection, criticism, or embarrassment — so much so that they often avoid social, occupational, or academic activities where those risks might arise.

List and journal prompts

​I was just posting lists and journal prompts here. Since I’ve stopped doing those… means I haven’t been posting here much.

But it is extended tax season so I’m busy. Also been sick with a cold. 

I think Skitty may be sick. Or well, just aging rapidly. 

Anyway, I will get back to lists and prompts. It seemed silly but I miss it. 

Nap time

​I love my bed so much. 

I’ve already had a 3-hour board meeting by zoom, filled out an HOA application to add a porch to our house with photos and survey, and had lunch out with our daughter. That’s enough productivity for one day.   

Except I still have more tax returns to prepare. 

Later. 

My brain needs rest.
