Lol, thanks for that even though we donāt really know one another.

It must be rough. I apologise in advance if my ignorance comes across wrong, but like, I get the general idea of dysphoria, but I donāt think Iāll ever truly understand what itās like unless I were to experience it. The effects of changes in hormone levels are wild enough as is without understanding that thereās a whole extra level above it.

Thatās what makes it so much fun!
Itās like when I was a kid and getting stuffed in a closet with a someone I didnāt know after playing spin the bottle.
My niece has a mood stability issue that is not bi-polar, and she can have mood lapses or changes when she is off her meds.
All the players I met here have been wonderful. If I come into some good $$ I would fly all of us to Barbados just so we can sit a tiki bar and have a nice cold adult or non-adult drink. I would love to meet so many of you.

Well it varies from person to person. Some folks donāt have it as bad. Some have it worse.
One of my fav ways to describe it was in Nimona. Its like when you gotta sneeze and it just DOESNT happen. So youāre just stuck there in that discomfort.

Just knowing literally any women is eye opening when it comes to hormones, imo. Especially when it concerns medical professionals and treatment. How well your life turns out can be altered because of your access to specialists or how well they treat their patients.
I donāt feel itās fully understood by a lot of people out there that there is no like standard level of hormones that everyone gets neatly portioned. A lot of people just have life harder because their body just doesnāt produce the right amounts and they get to enjoy being told to just lose weight/exercise/āitās all in your head, Iām fine, just copy me, lolā
I understand more than you think. I was on the keto diet and was losing a great amount of weight. Everything changed when I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia, which is the exact opposite of diabetes, and the Keto Diet can exacerbate my symptoms. Those simple carbs are a must now, along with complex carbs and proteins. I donāt have a say when things go wrong or how often they do. I was once proud of what I was doing. Now I have no say. Itās very disheartening.

Seeing my reflection in a window or a mirror is uncomfortable and a distraction. Something feels off. I donāt like that I have to spend mental energy trying to avoid my reflection. Iām slowly working on fixing things so that Iām no longer uncomfortable and can spend that mental energy on better things. Itās different for everyone. Thatās how itās affecting me.

Sorry if I misunderstood this part, but I was referring to general āother peopleā. Itās hard for me to tell sometimes what people mean 
Thankfully, I donāt have any major issues with hormones, but my partner had her thyroid fully removed and in conjunction with other issues itās just a nightmare for her sometimes.

I use bubble bath whenever I take a bath. Iām small enough that as long as I have enough bubble bath to cover everything Iāll be ok.

Might of well retreat to this thread. That other thread is a nightmare just reading it.

I think beyond just expressing my disappointment, Iām staying out of there. My anxiety is high today, but in spite of that I actually feel good otherwise. So, yeah, good is a limited currency for me, so I donāt want to read a bunch of hate and end up closer to bankrupt in terms of well-being. No, anyone spreading hate: bother me tomorrow, today Iāll by no sorrows.

I started out a response as I was going through that had like well-reasoned debating points with like five different people, but by the time I got to the end it was such a dumpster fire I just deleted everything and commented about what an unmitigated mess it was. My zingers werenāt going to make a dent in the concentrated amount of dumb in that thread.
