Probably Somatopsychic
Other people: "Probably unrelated" also "Completely psychosomatic!"
ME: Or, you know, totally cause and effect because hormones are part of the immune system and probably some of the dysphoria and misery is due to immune dysfunction from hormones not matching what you need.
ALSO ME: Please kindly look up somatopsychic. Panic can mean "My adrenals are running on high." From what I gather from reading and also having a bad habit of talking to people, men seem to generally react stronger to things like fight or flight reaction and I'm going to guess as a wild assed guess here that testosterone is relevant to this gender difference.
No, this is not an April Fool's joke. I hate that shit.
