After a long time of research i’ve come to realise that its not just trans identities that we have alot of medically unregonnized ones of. I feel there are also mental illnessess which are not yet medically regonnized. I believe i have one of those. (not esuriens tho) but i’m not gonna be making posts abt it yet as i feel im not informed enough. However multilple people in my system suffer from esuriens so i figured i’d make a post abt what i’ve learned and maybe someone here who relates to these symptoms could either realise they have it or that theyre transesuriens.
Name comes from latin word “hungry” to signify the primary issue, having extremely low seretonin.
While stage 1 can sound alot like autism, thats just because this disorder is often present with autism, yet causes symptoms outside of autism.
Symptoms
There are 3 stages of severity but all stages have attacks and are valid <3 The symptoms may vary alot! People usually only have few symptoms per stage but its the attacks that means its esuriens syndrome and not smt else.
Primary symptoms: (stage 1)
-Low seretonin
-Finding social interractions unrewarding unless its areally close person.
-Trouble relating to others
-Uncomfortable with physical affection
-Spesific sensory issues
-triggers may cause an “esuriens attack”
-Attacks vary in severity.
-paranoia

Attack symptoms
Attack triggers:
-Sensory triggers
-Stress
-physical contact
-nightmares
-lack of sleep
-physical work
-Anything that may lower seretonin
-transesuriens may get an attack from being forced to act outside of esuriens or from dysphoria
Before an attack:
Starts immidietly after trigger, last 1-24 hours
-feeling of impending doom
-tingles in any part of body
-dizziness
-nausea and throwing up
-increased hallucinations
-lost interest in other people.
During an attack:
lasts 1-24 hours
-A sudden drop in body temperature and/or shivers trough whole body may or may not happen as a signal the attack part is starting.
-increased loud or scary hallucinations
-innability to sleep
-headace

After an attack:
Lasts 1-7 days, symptoms slowly get better
-brain fog
-fatigue
-sleeping all the time
-innability to speak
-confusion
-possible holes in memory from time of attack
-muscle aces
-nausea and throwing up
-weakness
-extra sensitivity
Symptoms may vary!
Treatment:
It’s important to minimize attacks because repeated attacks often worsen symptoms even months after the attack has ended. During an attack its important to stay calm and take your time with recovering.
Since esuriens syndrome isnt medically regonnized no medications are avaiable, please do not self medicate, certain seretogenic drugs may cause a drop in seretonin wich usually causes the worst attacks.
General selfcare can be difficult with esuriens but its highly adviced.
If you think you may have esuriens or some other medically unregonnized disorder, i’d like to hear from you. <3
