idk how but only just found out that dysphoria (outside of trans stuff) is kind of common, 1 in 20 people have it apparently. there has always been a feeling of sadness and like my soul has been punched but could never figure out the cause and nothing i do seems to fix this feeling. maybe this is it, i just have dysphoria. im interested in trying out meditation since i hear it works wonders for some people. but ofc im lazy lol. just wanted to share my experience and journey.

Only a profesh can tell you ts and see the difference.

... to exert pleasure from their actions, so everything is externalized. You do everything you're supposed to, but it doesn't seem to work for you. There's this concept of the "dominant other" which means you need an intermediary to deliver the sense of pleasure and self-esteem FOR you, you don't "reward" yourself. To me that hit very close to home at the time. It still does tbh. But There are parallels EVERYWHERE. I've found myself in the descriptions from something between BPD/C-PTSD to ADHD

... but if you constantly carry around a sense of sadness, so much so that you'd describe yourself as a moody person or have a sense that sadness is just part of your personality that has always been there it could be dysthymia. The difference is also that dysphoria likely includes a cause for the distress. The club of depressive disorders doesn't. This is a completely un-fact-checked tangent, but HealthyGamerGG said that people with dysthymia have a strong inability...

What you are saying is interesting. I'd recommend perhaps looking into dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder), rather than dysphoria (as a general term, does not have to exclude gender). Dysphoria is more like a symptom - general profound dissatisfaction, as far as I know not time limited. It's the opposite of euphoria. Dysthymia is when you feel low for a majority of days for 2 or more years (ish). Not low enough to be a major depressive episode...

to me, medication usually feels like a temporary solution to a deeper problem. i believe in myself to fix this eventually with enough time. the brain is more powerful than most people think. i didn't exactly have the best upbringing so that could be a factor why i have this

huh, i never knew it was that common. sorry you're going through that, dysphoria is fucking rough. the medication definitely works wonders, i've been on it for about 3 months and i'm already feeling a lot better despite very little physical change
