I know very little about RSD but what I have learned is that it seems to be something that does me a lot of harm in my life. Could someone please enlighten me more about this issue, how it effects one and how best to deal with it?

RSD, or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, is a relatively recent finding within psychology.

I don't think that it's a diagnosis, but rather a topic of study. But for many people with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions, it seems to explain a lot about our lived experience.

I found an excellent article about ADHD and RSD from a well-known ADHD expert Dr. William Dodson. He explains it way better than I can.
