Continuation from the previous episode, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, otherwise known as RSD, is a relatively new disorder that outlines symptoms of pain when one feels rejected from loved ones, friends, and peers close to them. Thanks to Dr. William Dodson, RSD has surfaced to the spotlight and gained traction in awareness in the mental health space. But did you know that RSD can also be triggered by failure to meet high expectations of yourself or expectations of others? It isn't just about rejection! We are going to explore this phenomenon in this episode.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, otherwise known as RSD, is a relatively new disorder that outlines symptoms of pain when one feels rejected from loved ones, friends, and peers close to them. This can be in the simple form of not finding a said joke funny to something as serious as taking any criticism (even some that helps us grow) too negatively. In turn, this can be detrimental to one's growth. The person is continually swallowed in a negative pool. In this episode, I provide some examples of RSD that I have gone through, and provide some common solutions that can hopefully help you or someone you know that might be suffering through RSD.

Lack of motivation? Not in the right mood to finish mundane tasks? If you have ADHD, it's possible that your dopamine levels are not high enough to want to finish those tasks. You've probably heard of the remarks "You're just lazy". It is possibly not because ADHD people are lazy, but more so a lack of proper regulation of dopamine is happening in the brain. Knowing the right triggers for dopamine can help you use ADHD to your advantage. In this episode, I go over some basic neurology and how the neurotransmitter dopamine is critical for ones with ADHD.

Do Asian males seek out mental health advice? A 2019 study showed out of the group surveyed, Asian males sought out mental healthcare 3x less than white americans. This can be problematic, because Asian males tend to bottle emotions up and there is nowhere to properly vent, which, from previous episodes, you already know can lead to catastrophic and confusing anxiety and/or panic attacks. What can we do to begin to tackle this problem? Let's dig into it in this week's episode!

Yep, you read that right! Asian parents are not exempt from ADHD; they are very much human like you.  They probably were just never diagnosed and might take awhile for them (if even) to get diagnosed or accept that they have a disorder.  ADHD is a very common neurological disease and having a conversation with your parents might warrant some understanding of this disease. In this episode, I go over my own father's hinting symptoms towards ADHD. Perhaps you can find some parallels between a loved one in your life from my stories!

What is your way to maintain peace with your emotions and self? Any helpful advice to curb your anxiety, especially with ADHD? It might shock you that several people choose motorcycling as their way of meditation. Motorcycling is already estimated to be 38x more dangerous than driving a car. If that doesn't stress you out, I don't know what else will. But why do people still ride? In this episode, I go over why many choose to ride, especially ones with ADHD, and how one can find inner quiet and peace on their motorbike. I also provide some tips and suggestions for any interested in picking up motorcycling.
