Episode 10: When Rejection Feels Overwhelming: Understanding RSD
<p>Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, often shortened to RSD, describes the intense emotional distress some people experience in response to criticism, rejection, disappointment or the feeling that they have let someone down.</p><p>In this episode, we explore why a small comment, change in tone or unanswered message can sometimes feel so painful, particularly for people with ADHD and other neurodivergent profiles. We discuss how RSD can affect relationships, work, parenting and self-esteem, and why it is often misunderstood as being overly sensitive or dramatic.</p><p>We also look at the difference between emotional pain and emotional regulation, the role of past experiences, and practical ways to respond with greater understanding, self-compassion and support.</p><p>RSD is not a formal diagnosis, but the experiences described by the term can be very real.</p>

Episode 9 - Decision Fatigue
<p><strong>Decision Fatigue: Why Your Brain Feels Done Before the Day Begins</strong></p><p>How many decisions have you made before 9 a.m.? What to wear. What to eat. Where the missing school shoes are. Whether to answer that email now or later. By the time the day has properly started, your brain may already be running on empty.</p><p>In this episode of Inside the Mind: Beyond the Desk, we explore decision fatigue, the mental exhaustion that comes from making countless choices throughout the day. We look at why it affects everyone, why it can be especially challenging for neurodivergent people, parents and professionals, and how it quietly influences our mood, productivity, relationships and wellbeing.</p><p></p>

Episode 8 - Getting things done
<p>Getting things done is not always about motivation or trying harder. For many people, the real challenge is starting, knowing where to begin, staying focused, and managing the overwhelm that can come with everyday tasks.</p><p>In this episode, we explore task initiation, procrastination, planning, prioritising, and executive functioning through a psychology-informed lens. We look at why tasks can feel much bigger than they appear, why shame often follows unfinished jobs, and how stress, perfectionism, fatigue, and cognitive overload can all get in the way.</p><p>We also share practical ways to make tasks feel more manageable, including breaking things into smaller steps, using visual prompts, externalising plans, and working with your brain rather than against it.</p><p></p>
