Dysphoria

Dysphoria means feeling bad or feeling down about yourself. It's like a kind of sadness or a feeling of being very uncomfortable in your own skin. It's sort of like when you don't feel quite like yourself and it's very hard to shake it off. Dysphoria is more severe than just feeling down or not feeling great, and it can be hard to cope with. It might make you want to stay away from people or situations that make you feel this way. It's important to talk to people you trust about how you're feeling to get help.
