Putting the Hyper in Hypersensitive (Rebroadcast)

We're diving back into the archives today to revisit one of our most-requested episodes. Does the hum of the refrigerator feel like a jet engine? Does a scratchy shirt tag ruin your entire afternoon? You aren't alone.

With ADHD, our "filters" often don't work the way we want them to. We can't simply ignore the background noise or the overwhelming scent of a neighbor's perfume. In this encore presentation, we explore the world of hypersensitivity and what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) while navigating ADHD.

In this episode, we revisit:

Why our brains struggle to prioritize what to focus on.
The five senses and how they can lead to sensory overload.
The emotional side of sensitivity, including Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).

Top Tips from the Archive:

Audit Your Environment: Reduce daily friction by choosing tagless clothing, using noise-canceling headphones, and adjusting your lighting.
Understand RSD: Recognize that extreme emotional sensitivity to perceived rejection is a common ADHD trait—and while it's painful, it is temporary.
