This is exactly how I feel about the phenomenon and I almost fell into this trap when I crashed my estrogen. The more I read with these stories of "permanent damage" the more I was flipping out. I then realized I am a well educated medical professional with a knack to find the truth in research and I just could not find anything substantial to back up these anecdotal claims by a small few. Its so easy to get wrapped up into the "well im screwed I'll never be the same." Let me tell you, if you believe this, your mind will manifest this to your body, its nothing more than anxiety/panic. User_Joe is 100% correct with his post. Once I started to realize this all of the sudden these "low E2" symptoms magically started to vanish, go figure.

If you want to look into tangible issues with dopamine/receptor problems you need to look at gut health and masturbation/porn habits .

[QUOTE="Vitamin_C, post: 120277, member: 12373"] This is exactly how I feel about the phenomenon and I almost fell into this trap when I crashed my estrogen. The more I read with these stories of "permanent damage" the more I was flipping out. I then realized I am a well educated medical professional with a knack to find the truth in research and I just could not find anything substantial to back up these anecdotal claims by a small few. Its so easy to get wrapped up into the "well im screwed I'll never be the same." Let me tell you, if you believe this, your mind will manifest this to your body, its nothing more than anxiety/panic.
