HRT not only saved my life , but has given me such a positive view of things. It just happens to be the answer I was looking for and didn't realize it was attainable, The estrogen is working its magic on me and its beautiful. They are small steps ,but I can see the results. I'm just so happy I at least made it to this point. It all happened so fast. One day I start my first visit with a psychiatrist because I can't go on any more the burden became to hard . then the straw broke the camels back when I lost my job the next week and ended up in the psyche ward at the hospital. The over night psychiatrist and me had a long talk and I told her that my problem has been that I'm a female. the ball started to tumble and here I am doing what I felt I needed all my life. It's late in the game but I made it. I just thought I'd share a happy moment. And on top of every thing the janitor finally fixed my ceiling.
