I’m curious about other’s experiences with Polyphagia/Hyperphagia. What was/is your journey like for you?
I had this at one point due to a shitty medication, and I kept asking for a higher dose because I thought I was just eating due to stress and a higher dose would reduce it. It wasn’t until my internalized fatphobia at the time took over, and I asked for a different medication that would make me gain less weight, that my hyperphagia went away.
This sort of hunger can be hell for some. Not just due to fatphobia, but it can be scary to never be satisfied with eating. Remember it can have many causes. For me it wasn’t me on my own, it was a bad med match I needed to opt out of.
You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to: Is the estrogen for being transgender? Or is it for something else? I’ve had multiple estrogen products in my life before and it wasn’t for being trans. If yours sounds fitting, maybe I could ask my doctor about what you use. I’m tired of eating based on counting grams of protein vs eating based on how I feel and what I see. I don’t really know how to eat satisfyingly otherwise.
The GLP products are something I don’t relate to, but it sounds like some people are doing amazing from it.
Yes the estrogen is for gender dysphoria, although I just microdose for the psychological effects. I had a weird natural hormone profile so I don’t know how applicable what I’m doing is even to enby transfemmes.
I have some gender dysphoria, but I don’t think hormonal treatments would help me. Perhaps I could dress more masculine more often. That could change how much I recognize myself and be more honest to myself about how I feel.
That sounds like it would be nice. I hope that goes well and would love to hear if that helps
