[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, my DC with ADHD was like this and it has gotten better over the last year (now 12) but DC was in therapy from age 10-11 (CBT) to deal with managing thought patterns that led to the rejection sensitivity.

And DC’s impulse control got better around the same time — now thinks before being mean back to kids or getting angry.

My DH also has extreme rejection sensitivity and just started CBT for the first time this past year and it has gotten much better. He used to leap to defensiveness when he felt he www being criticized (even when he wasn’t). It’s honestly been amazing to see the progress he has made — it can really work if the person is willing to try to break patterns and change outcomes. [/quote]

This is great to hear. I will look into it for DS. Luckily (maybe?) He never lashes out physically or is never meant back, just shuts down. Before he was diagnosed with ADHD I felt it was depression because he just gets so deeply sad.

But he doesnt have many friends, which is heart breaking.

We talked a lot today and he just tells.me he doesnt understand why he gets so sad. It is so hard when your kid comes up and asks you why he has to feel the way he feels 😞[/quote]
