Stanford Women’s Soccer: Blessing In Disguise

If you think you might have ADHD, get tested, because RSD, or Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria comes with it. It is an intense emotional pain and it can be unbearable and debilitating . That email must've felt like a rejection (perceived rather than real) from the school she loved and likely caused an RSD episode. The problem is the intense feeling would've passed. An ADHD coach/mentor would've been a huge help in talking her down. Anyone of the mind that there were no red flags just needs to peruse her TikTok videos. She was mentioning symptoms all throughout. She was struggling in an accounting class and said she didn't understand numbers as a language and another one not knowing her rights from her lefts. That could be dyscalculia, a learning disability that a lot of lefthanders have and where there is one there is usually another. She was a smart girl, but maybe she wasn't feeling smart and perfection was getting harder to attain. That GPA took work. Even the NCAA game incidents were potentially ADHD related. She displayed bravado in interviews, but it's an ADHD masking technique and makes sense in light of her use of the hashtag fakeittillumakeit. Everything she dealt with had a name and a cause. I just don't know if she knew it and that's what's sad. If you have impulsivity, can't sit still, focus issues, can't motivate yourself, emotional sensitivity, interrupt conversations, lose things or you're always late to things, get tested. Because of her, I myself have decided to put my ADHD to use as a coach/mentor. If I can save one kid, it'll be worth it. RIP bby girl
