Omegaverse au, rejection sickness, dkbk
Katsuki never told izuku he was an omega. He didn't think he needed to. Their instincts spoke for themselves, and everything in Izuku's alpha said what his omega needed to know and vise versa. Or so he thought.
When Izuku rejected his offer to work at the agency, he unwittingly said no to a whole lot more he didn't know about.
-Omega experiencing rejection sickness may have massive mood swings due to hormonal imbalances caused by the destruction of a bond. This can lead to manic episodes. They should not be left alone during these episodes, as their threat assessment, emotional regulation, and processing and reasoning can all be impacted, leading to injuries to themselves or others. Omegas in this state may range from extreme depression to extreme anger or happiness.
-omegas may experience loss of appetite followed by extreme hunger, leading to disordered binge eating that may result in sickness, weight gain, or weight loss. Omegas in this state have been known to starve themselves, or to eat to the point of sickness. A close and trusted alpha should monitor portions and limit food access depending on necessity.
- omegas may experience paranoia and extreme anxiety, leading to panic attacks, insomnia, and nesting frenzies. It is recommended that omegas experiencing these symptoms be provided sedatives to help relax the nervous system until episodes have passed. Omegas with this symptom have reported loss of time, feelings of extreme paranoia such as feeling watched or followed, and hallucinations.
- omegas may experience muscle pains, phantom heat symptoms, and even phantom signs of pregnancy such as morning sickness, scent changes, and breast enlargement and tenderness. This is believed to be a response to entice the return of an alpha and to initiate responses of care and protection towards a vulnerable omega.
-in some extreme cases, omegas have been known to experience transitions into betas, a very painful experience which requires medical attention and monitoring to ensure safety of the transitioning omega. The process may be completed fully naturally by the onega's body, but may require inference and aid by a medical professional if the omega has already been depleted or in case of medical emergencies.
-additional symptoms can include uncontrolled extension of omegan fangs, numbing of mouth, blindness, and excessive bleeding. All believed to be symptoms associated with stress and duress on the omegan body.
For all rejection sickness, omegas are recommended to spend the duration of the illness with a trusted alpha. A bets may suffice with the addition of synthetic alpha hormones. Omegas experiencing rejection sickness are recommended to be monitored and have frequent health check ups with a medical professional for the duration of the illness. Timeline may differ depending on the Omega's level of attachment.
