Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) Scale

A 19-page workbook for understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), with a default scale, a customizable blank scale, and prompts to help you name what it looks like for you.

Remember that time when someone didn't text back and your brain immediately jumped to "they hate me, I'm unlovable, and everything is terrible forever"? Or when your boss gave neutral feedback and you spent the next week convinced you were getting fired? That's not you being "too sensitive" – that's Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), and it's a VERY real thing for many neurodivergent brains. (I just described the majority of my 20s)

RSD isn't a formal diagnosis. It's a way to describe the extreme, overwhelming emotional sensitivity some people experience when they perceive rejection or criticism. It's most commonly discussed in the ADHD community, but it can also show up alongside autism, anxiety, complex trauma, and other neurodivergent experiences.

A few years ago, I created an anxiety scale and a depression scale that were loosely based on the popular pain scale. I realized that so many of us find value in being able to categorize our experiences so this scale is another tool to help you acknowledge and verbalize your experiences.

Here's What's Inside:

• 19-page PDF (with a black and white version for easy printing)
• A clear breakdown of what RSD looks like
• A default scale that categorizes five levels of RSD
• A worksheet to help you see what thoughts, behaviors, and emotions you experience
• A blank scale so you can create your own based on YOU
• A worksheet to help you break down your reactions
• Space to track your emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations
• Journaling prompts to help you process and reframe your experiences
• Digital fill-in enabled (use it on a tablet, computer, or print at home)
