Randomly feeling annoyed at the world?

[Charlie Nicki]

I woke up feeling annoyed, sad and angry. No idea why, no triggers, no nothing. Just a bit nostalgic and with a short temper today. Is this hormonal? Do you guys go through this?

[Faith]

yes I do, first week of every month since HRT started.

Do you cycle HRT? Injections?

I take it via pills so I'm supposed to have stable levels. I remember last year when I started HRT I felt calmed most of the time...Now I have no idea what happened to that calmness lol. I'm so emotional.

[Faith]

nope, pills. I'm probably still balancing out. Only been on them 6 months (signature)

No, I don't feel that way; I'm just thankful to be here, and I choose to be strong and happy😊

Hi Charlie Nicki,
                           How long have you been on HRT total time?

This may be food for thought as well - I am trying to find a good medical reference on THIS -  oral Progynova ends up producing more estrone as a by product than transdermal 17b estradiol. Estradiol gel or patch results in good estradiol blood levels but much less estrone. This results in better mood. I was told this by my prescribing doctor.

Anecdotally a post op trans friend of mine changed from oral Progynova to Sandrena gel regimen resulting in much improved mood.

I personally use estradiol gel. I found from 6 months to 10 months HRT was the toughest emotionally after that I found a new frame of mind had me abreast of the emotional aspects.

Your doctor may or may not be able to back this with first hand experience.

Wishing you smooth sailing,

I did for the first six months or so, on the last week of the month. Absolutely stable dosages, but there was definitely something cyclic going on. I seem to have stabilized since.

Welcome to being a woman. Some days i'm annoyed for no reason what so ever! Usually when the patch is just about done its thing though.

I know you mentioned antidepressants before. Could it be that? You should see if your prescribing doctor can give you feedback on feeling annoyed/sad/angry as a possible side effect. It's just a suggestions. Please message me whenever if you need to vent, like I know you would do for me... Hope you're feeling better

Before HRT it used to be that way and I was on not one but two antidepressants. For about forty years. Today I don't get angry until I get on the road and flashback to 30 years of 4 1/2 hours of LA traffic. If that don't make you angry nothing will. I have to say I am happier that ever. Occasionally I get a little radical but I snap out of it pretty quick. Now days everything is just rainbows,
puppies and unicorns.

So what if you are not on HRT(yet) I used to get angry at the drop of a hat. Better now since I have been on my depression meds. However I can still fly off the handle most anytime.

I've been over a year, I think. I actually told my doctor if we could switch to injections or patches but he told me pills were the best option. I'm in a great mood today, again no idea why I was like that yesterday lol. It had been a while (pre HRT) since the last time I felt super annoyed at everyone with no reason.
