You Are Not Alone

Join us on Tuesday, March 7th for New Tech's ADHD OASIS Community Meetup onHow to Manage Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Are you a people pleaser? Do you expect perfection from yourself but not others? Are you overly sensitive to criticism? You may suffer from rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD). But, you are not alone. It’s very common in those with ADHD and once you recognize you have it, you can take steps to manage it. Join us in this meetup to connect with others and discuss how to handle RSD. Join us for New Tech Northwest's ADHD & Neurodiverse Meetup. This virtual event will combine community and coaching to support you in building supportive systems for managing your neurodiverse brain. Discover how to decrease your neurodiverse challenges while building relationships with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers who are on similar journeys.

You can attend these virtual Meetups on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The more Meetups you attend, the more peer connections you'll make with other professionals who have neurodiverse brains like you. Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.

During the Meetups we'll share struggles as well as systems and strategies to overcome your executive functioning and working memory challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, miscommunication, interrupting, inattentiveness, stress, distractibility, procrastination, paperwork fails, imposter syndrome, having to mask your neurodiversity at work, and weak organization skills. Welcome!
