You girls weren't kidding.

Two weeks of hormones and i am an emotional wreck.  I am quite happy about this, but it does feel odd crying several times a day about.... well nothing really.

This is great, i have emotions now!

You will start to get to grips with it in 4 to 6 months. After that it eases off a bit (but not much) because the novelty factor wears off. After that you just have to get used to it and keep tissues in your handbag

Welcome to puberty #2

[Zoe the Obscure]

Yaaaay!

[Jessica Merriman]

Tissue companies should be our best friends as we are good for business!

I love it when for no silly reason at all I start crying and then 2 seconds later am giggling. It really messes with people!

Welcome to the emotion zone!!!!

I have never been on HRT, but I became rather emotionless recently. I guess the main factor is aging.
However, I live in a country where many people have to cry everyday. Too many accidents and tragedies.
Anyway, crying is good for our mental health.

Good luck!

I honestly wasn't aware of crying randomly since I am living as female for the moment...but it becomes easier to for sure.

Not to mention hot flashes.  Wow!

But yeah, I cry quite often. It's ok though.

[TaoRaven]

I try not to. My makeup is too expensive

[Megumi]

I cry way more than I want to most of the time. That's all I wanted to do at work today was cry but you learn to let it all out when the time is right.

I felt the same way when I started HRT. At first I was bothered by the emotions, then I realized I could feel for the first time since my first puberty went horribly wrong.

[Ms Grace]

I have to say I haven't been all that more emotional. I mean I have always been fairly emotional anyway, able to express how I feel when I feel it. I'll cry when something really upsets or moves me...and the HRT has really helped that along, but I'm not all over the place. I was during the first go at transition and I was worried I would be again this time but so far it's a more level field. Yay!

[Allyda]

I cry when I'm happy I cry when I'm sad, and I cry at sad parts or emotionally moving parts of movies, and sometimes even songs -but I was like this before hrt as I've always been very emotional. Just not with the fierce intensity, the lovely feminine intensity I have now.

It's been nice being able to let my emotions out, but on Tuesday I had my first irrational tears.  I live like 30 mins away from my Mom and I was in the area so even though my Mom was at work I decided to stop in to play with the dog for a bit.  Just before I left and I was giving him one last pet goodbye, I just started tearing up.  I had just seen him a few days prior and it probably won't be longer than a couple weeks before I stop over again so I have no clue where that came from.  I like being able to cry during a movie, but I hope those crazy tears don't happen often.

I get worked up when I read about crimes, injustices or suffering against women or young children.

I mean I was just riveted to the story and my heart skipped a few beats once the video showed her crouching in the grass found.

Stuff like this always tears me up also. Sometimes I have to not watch news like this to avoid the river. So believe me I understand.

[Evelyn K]

^^ yes agreed.

and of all the irony's. just this minute a few tears of happiness after looking in the mirror. is it the hormones? or genuine unadulterated heartfelt happiness...

Imyself so much. Transition was the best decision ever.

[Allyda]

While I do love myself and do have to watch staring at my legs, etc., silhouette when I pass my full length mirror for fear of stirring up urges, y'all get the idea, but there's still something missing before I can love myself fully. If all goes well that final piece will be put into place this December and I'm made whole. Then I'll be able to fully love myself.

It's odd. When the emotional cannonball hit me about a month in, I cried like two or three times. Then it stopped again, even though I'm way more emotional in other ways. I guess there's something wrong with my crying initiators.

But an emotional wreck otherwise, oh yeah.

[YinYanga]

 
Hmm, am I weird for not enduring all these emotional swings?

I feel happier and I can deal a lot better/recover quicker from negative moments but I've been very  stable so far,boringly so. I do feel tears coming up quicker but that's about it.

E seems to have more direct influence on my body than my mind/emotions
