   Thanks for this article. I don’t think there’s enough info out there about this disorder.
   I have suffered with this all my life and yes, it HAS made me a perfectionist AND a people pleaser.
   I found that just giving into it, with the knowledge of exactly what is going on and that I am controlling it and then having a purposeful distraction seems to help. I try to remember a mantra- This Too Shall Pass to try to keep the negative spiral in check and remind myself that in the big picture Im doing ok and whatever it is will later be a distant memory. Thanks again for shining a light on RSD because just realizing that you have it makes living with it and then working through it that much easier.

   Couldn’t make it through the whole article… BUT, thank you for helping me identify that this is an actual problem, not to added to my list of why the F can’t I just get over this and use the energy waste on something more productive. I am encouraged to think it is better to face it not shove it down. I am saving the article and hope not to lose it in my disorganized files, to refer to it to overcome this issue in my life

   I’ve struggled with this my whole life, but did not know what it was. It can be quite overwhelming, especially if you experience some heavy grief or loss. Fast forward, an unhealthy job environment really made it horribly worse. Not sure how long it takes to diminish. One year and counting this time.
