Your feelings are not too much. Your nervous system is wired differently.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria describes an extreme emotional sensitivity to perceived rejection or criticism. It is not an official DSM-5 diagnosis term, but it is widely described by ADHD experts such as William Dodson. Typical signs: you react to small criticism with strong emotions, you ruminate for days over a casual remark, or you avoid situations where you might fail. Up to 70% of adults with ADHD report RSD symptoms. DopaLoop's RSD first aid does not replace therapy – but it helps you in acute moments when your amygdala has taken over.

Because it skips the most important part: the connection. A separate mood journal shows you how you feel. A separate habit tracker shows you what you do. But the insight lives in between: 'Whenever I sleep poorly and then have 3 meetings, I am emotionally useless by 3 PM.' Or: 'When I spend 10 minutes outside in the morning, my mood is better all day.' Only an integrated system shows you these connections. And that is exactly what DopaLoop does.

Yes. And this is not marketing, it is architecture. DopaLoop has no server. No account. No cloud. No analytics. Your app runs entirely on your iPhone. Your emotions, your mood data, your check-ins – everything is stored locally in Apple's SwiftData and protected by device encryption. Even if someone hacked your iPhone (extremely unlikely), they would need your passcode. There is no external attack vector.

No. DopaLoop does not replace therapy, a psychiatrist, or medication. What it does: it makes the time between therapy sessions more measurable. You bring real data instead of vague feelings ('I think this week was not so great'). Your therapist or doctor sees in black and white: here were your mood crashes, here your energy highs, here the days without check-ins. The therapist report in particular is built exactly for this: a PDF with habits, mood, sleep, and ASRS self-test for your appointment.
