I know that being sensitive to rejection tends to be more of a BPD trait than a BP trait, but I'm hesitant to post in that forum since I don't actually have BPD. I have a trait or two, but not enough for, nor do I want a diagnosis. I know some people here have both diagnoses, which is why I ask.

It happens mostly when I'm depressed. When I'm depressed, I'm super, super sensitive to rejection. Like today - a friend cancelled plans on me yesterday, and that was fine - she explained her reasons and they were valid ones that had nothing to do with me, I hope. But then I saw her today for a mutual extracurricular thing at my university, and when we said goodnight at the end of the night she was just like, well, see you after the holidays. And I don't know, I was hoping she'd want to reschedule the plans we had? For some reason my brain is latching onto the fact that she probably doesn't want to hang out with me. I've done a lot of CBT though and I know this is a thinking error. There are tons of reasons why she might not reschedule, especially since it's a holiday.

Does anyone else get super sensitive to rejection when they're depressed? How do you deal with it?
