I’ve had anxiety and mood problems my entire life eventually my doctor ended up ordering blood work for hormones for a different reason and they found it they were so imbalanced as a man I had estrogen levels of a pregnant woman which caused the moods

Hormones are wild. If they get slightly off it causes issues with so many different things. And drs hardly ever check hormones like estrogen or any other hormones related to the female gender, besides testosterone. Especially if you are a female

I’m so glad they checked they told me that I was basically experiencing the moods women have on their periods except for months at a time

You’re definitely lucky. Usually they just start feeding you antidepressants and never look hard enough for an underlying cause. My asthma wasn’t diagnosed for so long bc drs kept attributing my SOB to anxiety and not an actual issue with my lungs

That was until I was passing out from 80% oxygen. Then they gave me inhalers
