I’m still pretty early on in my HRT journey at just under 5 weeks of estradiol IM injections and Spironolactone.

One thing that I kind of was expecting but still took me by surprise was the depth of my emotions increasing.

I kept reading about “a larger range of emotional responses” but feeling it is a whole new world! I feel like my emotions have so much more texture and nuance that I pick up on. I can feel them shift from sadness to anger to determination to whatever so quickly and so intuitively.

Before I started E, the best way I can describe how my emotional state behaved was like these blurry blobs of feelings that were difficult to distinguish or identify. Everything swirled around me without me being able to fully experience them. Now they are a part of me and I would never go back ❤️

    On one hand, this is a shitty comment and you’re a dick for posting it, so fuck you. On the other paw, I’ve tried committing suicide and it unfortunately did not work out… so double fuck you.

    I’ll be sure to take this as encouragement to try harder next time, I guess.

    (But triple fuck you just for good measure, m’kay?)

      So sorry that person said that to you. They have been banned from multiple instances due to transphobic trolling behavior. This is their third alt account.

      You are loved and valued here. Please take care.
