Tired of Being Ambushed by Your Own Emotions?

You have ADHD, which means your emotions aren't just feelings—they're tsunamis. Rejection feels like the end of the world. Minor frustrations explode into rage. Excitement becomes anxiety. And you have no idea what triggers it or how to stop it.

💔

RSD Hits Out of Nowhere

Someone's neutral comment sends you into emotional hell. You know it's irrational, but you can't stop the crushing feeling of rejection.

🌊

Emotional Flooding

Emotions overwhelm your ability to think. You can't access the coping strategies you know because your ADHD brain is drowning.

🤷

Nothing Works Consistently

Generic regulation techniques don't work for ADHD. What helps today makes things worse tomorrow. You're guessing in the dark.

Your emotions aren't the problem—it's not having a map.

The ADHD emotional experience that feels impossible to explain

What RSD Feels Like

RSD is extreme emotional pain triggered by perceived rejection, criticism, or failure. It's not just "being sensitive"—it's an overwhelming physiological response that feels unbearable. Many ADHD individuals describe it as "emotional bulletproof vest failure"—criticism that neurotypicals brush off feels like a mortal wound.

Common RSD Triggers:

  • Constructive criticism at work
  • Being left on read or slow text responses
  • Perceived tone changes in conversations
  • Not being invited to social events
  • Making mistakes in front of others
  • Feeling like you disappointed someone

How Lifelight Helps:

  • Identifies YOUR specific RSD triggers
  • Tracks when you're most vulnerable to RSD
  • Shows which coping strategies actually work
  • Validates that RSD is real (not "too sensitive")
  • Provides evidence for therapy discussions
  • Predicts high-RSD-risk days/situations

Real User RSD Discovery:

"I thought my RSD was random. Lifelight showed me it happens 90% of the time when I'm sleep-deprived + caffeinated + receive any kind of feedback (even positive!). Now I know: if I'm tired and jittery, I should NOT read performance reviews that day. This insight has saved my career."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've lived 32 years not understanding why emotions hit me like a freight train. Lifelight identified my RSD pattern: rejection + comparison to others + low dopamine from understimulation. Now I can predict it, prepare for it, and actually regulate instead of just surviving the emotional tsunami."

"Tracking medication effectiveness on my emotions changed everything. I discovered my stimulant was helping focus but creating emotional crashes at 4pm daily. My psychiatrist adjusted the dose and timing. The app's data made the difference between guessing and knowing."

Sam R.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I learned that my 'anger issues' aren't anger—they're ADHD emotional overwhelm from sensory overstimulation + executive dysfunction + hunger. When those three combine, I can't regulate. Now I prevent meltdowns by addressing those factors early. Life-changing understanding."

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about ADHD emotional tracking

How does AI help with ADHD emotional dysregulation?+

The AI learns your specific ADHD emotional patterns—like when rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) gets triggered, what situations cause emotional flooding, or how long your mood swings typically last. It identifies patterns in your emotional responses, tracks what helps you regulate, and most importantly, gives you early warnings when conditions are aligning for a meltdown (poor sleep + overstimulation + missed medication = 85% chance of RSD episode within 12 hours). This awareness helps you prepare and intervene.

What is rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) and can this app help?+

RSD is extreme emotional sensitivity to perceived rejection or criticism, common in ADHD. It feels like sudden, intense emotional pain that seems impossible to control. Lifelight helps by tracking what situations trigger your RSD (constructive criticism at work, being left on read, tone of voice changes), identifying early warning signs you miss in the moment, and showing what actually helps you regulate afterward. Many users discover their RSD follows predictable patterns once they can see the data objectively.

Can this replace ADHD medication or therapy?+

No, Lifelight complements professional ADHD treatment—it doesn't replace it. Think of it as a 24/7 emotional pattern tracker that makes your medication management and therapy far more effective. Track stimulant effectiveness on emotional regulation, identify which therapy techniques actually help your ADHD brain, and provide your doctor with concrete data about emotional dysregulation patterns. Many ADHD specialists recommend pattern tracking because it reveals what's medication-related vs. environmental.

What if I forget to track because of my ADHD?+

The app is designed FOR ADHD brains! Quick 30-second voice memos, gentle (not annoying) reminders, quick-capture buttons when you're emotionally flooded, and automatic pattern detection even from sparse data. Plus, the AI can detect 'symptom gaps' in your tracking (if you suddenly stop journaling, it might indicate executive dysfunction or emotional overwhelm itself). Every bit of data helps—perfection not required.

How is ADHD emotional dysregulation different from mood disorders?+

ADHD emotions tend to be more reactive, intense but shorter-lived, and closely tied to immediate situations. Unlike depression or bipolar disorder, ADHD emotional swings usually resolve within hours/days rather than weeks. Lifelight differentiates between ADHD emotional patterns and potential co-occurring mood disorders by analyzing duration, triggers, and response to interventions. This data helps you and your doctor understand if you need additional mental health support beyond ADHD treatment.

Can it track emotional regulation strategies that work for ADHD?+

Absolutely. Track which regulation strategies actually work for YOUR ADHD brain: does exercise help or overstimulate? Does talking it out help or make RSD worse? Do stimulants help emotional regulation or create crashes? The app shows effectiveness data for different strategies in different situations—because what works during RSD might not work during executive dysfunction overwhelm. You get personalized insights, not generic ADHD advice.
