I went through about two months of incessant crying while I was still on low dose HRT; this was a little more than a year before I went on the transitioning dose. I could not stop bawling. I had flown to California for a job interview and I was bawling 15 minutes before the interview, but managed to dry it up in time. I probably had red eyes in the interview, but I still got the job  :)

Now there are TV shows I simply can't watch, and during the day emotions will wash over me out of the blue and I will tear up. Even something as simple as a song that has great meaning for me will turn on the water works. I try not to cry so that I won't screw up my makeup but that doesn't always work.

It is nice to finally have emotions.

Oh my, I'm really agitated hearing this. I think I would cry a lot, but, am I going to be forced to cry for my entire life? That sounds scary....

I cant watch re-runs of extreme makeover home edition without crying..

The mood swings were a little getting use to in the beginning.
Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

After two months on hormones I still pretty much feel the same though I was told I am on a lower dose so maybe that will change once it gets increased. I'm a fairly happy positive person to begin with, and typically the only thing that really sets me off is thinking about sad things involving my parents. Before I had told my dad, just thinking through possible outcomes had me fighting back tears.
Live a life with no regrets and be the person you know you were meant to be.

I am a weird girl, I like video games and skirts, swords and nail polish, sharks and black lace...not sure if that's normal, definitely sure that I don't care. =P

  I was watching the movie "Avatar" the other night on TV and right at the end I started crying like crazy for no reason I can figure.  I had to try hard to contain it so I wouldn't wake up my parents and have them wondering what the heck was wrong with me.

  My mood has been good and stable since starting HRT.  There have been a few 'purges' of remnant stress left over from 'the old days' and from coming out to various people, kind of an expression of great relief at reaching new milestones.  I do find it easier to be emotional at times but appreciate not storing it up into a big crash like I used to.  It's nice to be able to tear-up when something makes me really happy.
