I literally get headaches trying to use the new UI

I have a small array of mental disorders, so my experiences probably aren't universal. But, without exaggeration, the new UI is physically painful for me to use for extended periods. The visual noise of the highlight moving up and down bothers me, and while I appreciate the intent of figuring out where messages start and end, putting the react buttons ABOVE the message - thus on top of the PREVIOUS message - does exactly the opposite. Trying to parse all the messages and figure out who's saying what when they're all so mashed together is difficult, and doubly so without divider lines to separate them. The red bar is so high-contrast when in dark mode that it almost makes me wince to look at.  This is one of the few ways I have to communicate with my friends, and it is now physically painful to use. Please, find a way to bring back the old design, and make this one midway between Comfy and Compact.
