Living with Gender Dysphoria | If You Don't Deal With Gender Dysphoria it Will Deal With You!
This is a stark reality check—Dr. Z explains how not dealing with gender dysphoria manifests in your body and health.
You've been aware of dysphoria for majority of your life. You've been struggling with it, hiding it, trying to cope with it but not dealing with it. If you don't deal with gender dysphoria, it will deal with you—and it will not be pretty. Dr. Z is seeing more and more adults where dysphoria is starting to deal with them through their health: high blood pressure, severe anxiety and stress potentially leading to heart attack, body aches, severe somatic concerns. Gender dysphoria is taking over your body and manifesting somatically.
Psychosomatic symptoms are real—when you don't address psychological symptoms, they manifest in your body and health. Like overworking then suddenly getting severe back pain on vacation because your body was compensating and holding stress. Gender dysphoria is no different. You are killing yourself over gender dysphoria.
You cannot purchase health or time—the two most important things in life. What little steps can you take to release the pressure valve? Make an appointment with endocrinologist, come out to one person, go to support group.
Watch to find out why Dr. Z keeps seeing adults with health complications from not dealing with dysphoria, and why little steps to release pressure will slowly better your health.
