Thinking about starting hrt soon

Hey Erin here just a quick question or two  about 2 year ago I stopped ignoring my feelings which triggered crazy panic attacks full on I'm dieing kind lol attacks finally stopped but ever since then I feel like I've been more emotional tearing up with movies etc... I've never had that happen in my life and it freaks me out I guess what I'm wondering is has anyone had this type of response with out taking hormones? And should I expect the emotional stuff to get way more intense with hormone treatment or level out I know a therapist is probably the one ask but I'm curious if anyone else had this reaction before starting treatment.

I teared up at some movies my whole life and just tried to hide it as best I could.  On HRT I still tear up.   

On HRT I haven't really noticed the emotional stuff to be more intense.  It was always intense.  The changes were more subtle.  Mainly reduced dysphoria and reduced stress.  Reducing those two has greatly improved my general mood and outlook on life.

It's good to know it didn't get more intense for you I'm not sure how to handle that kind of stuff and thought of it getting more intense kind of freaks me out. But hell maybe accepting the new emotions as normal might make it easier to handle and less stressful in the end

I was always emotional. My wife and daughter would elbow me in a movie. Now, I am more emotional. YMMV.

It had to be the right subject matter, but movies would make me tear up occasionally before HRT.  I honestly haven't teared up to a movie since starting HRT, haven't really watched any that would, but I have been much more emotional about life in general!  Both sides of the coin, happy and sad, hehe.
