anyone else spend years being told their symptoms were just stress
asking because this was me and i still think about it
bloating every single evening. acne that showed up like clockwork every month. tired no matter how much i slept. i saw two doctors. both said stress. one suggested i lose weight.
eventually i went down a research rabbit hole at like 1am and landed on estrogen dominance as a possible explanation. something about finally having a name for it, even an unofficial one, made me feel so much less alone. i actually cried a little.
i ended up building a small app around this because nothing i found did it simply. you tap your symptoms and it maps them to a hormonal pattern, with a few real things you can do today. being transparent that i made it. it's called HormonaLog and i'll link it below.
but genuinely, how long did it take you all to get any kind of answer? what finally helped? would love to hear your stories.
You can find it here :
