I described how ADHD brains struggle to regulate dopamine and emotional responses, and how social rejection activates brain areas like physical pain, so it can feel intensely painful and biologically real. I emphasized that your nervous system treats rejection as a threat and that RSD episodes are a protective survival response. I shared that the first step in an RSD episode is to create safety before you try to fix or reflect. No direct action was requested.
