The second adolescence

[Laurel D]

Any on else experience a wide range of emotions similar to what at teenager goes through ? Especially after a change in the HRT ? You know all of those emotions you don't want to feel  ( especially as adult.) ? I feel like I traveled through so much in a few days. It was exhausting .  Every time I felt an emotion ( happy, sad, developing crushes, depression, etc) felt magnified . Hell even my long missing libido came back for few days. Now I feel like it's starting to calm down now, and everything is returning to normal . But that took a few days.

I didn't, but if you're taking estrogen it will put you more in contact with emotions and you will probably respond more emotionally to things more quickly. Small things and cues could change your mood on a dime. You might find everything feels more connected as opposed to compartmentalized, so one thing can easily affect another and your overall emotional landscape.

Going the other way, I feel less emotional in life, but I do drama so I have put myself in contact with emotions even if I'm not really feeling them.

My second adolescence hasn't really felt like one tbh. I haven't been drinking and stealing road signs again, anyway.

I don't think we can do otherwise and HRT is changing everything just like puberty.
My wife's counselor summed it up for her so simply. My wife was concern that I was being vain and self centred with all the primping and preening. It very simple am in puberty and I'm no different that any teenager going thru it. It take time to get under control if you ever do

I am hoping to get it under control. Already dealing my spouse leaving. The extra emotions aren't helping...lol

It can be an emotional roller coaster ride... but just be aware the ability to cry in 2 seconds flat at something sad .. well frankly it just doesn't exactly 'go away'.  At least it never did for me.  Also the ability to get very very mad at someone.. still there.  I just don't respond as quickly, that's the trick.  Learning how to express the emotions.

Then again I actually DID have those at my first..2nd...3rd..  grrr.. puberty lol.   I'm a mess.  But at least emotionally I've had some practice at hiding the tumultuous thunderstorms going on within.

Hmmmmm, yes, yes and......yes

I'm getting better at hiding the extremes in my emotions, at least long enough to process them.


I will say one good thing. I FEEL ALIVE. Which is major change from just feeling blah. I feel like a more complete person ( Even if I'm a little bit more neurotic....lol.)

Sitting at the dinner table last night with my wife and her father. His Father's Day dinner and while we were chatting her oldest son called. He talked to my wife and then on speaker to
Dad, all the time knowing I was sitting there listening. Well there was no words from him towards me and the conversation ended. The emotions welled up so bad I had to leave the room so I didn't cry in front of dad. My wife is used to it but he has never see it and I don't want him to. After a settled down I came back out and my wife hardened even picked up on what happened but did know something was wrong. It's going to happen and it is hard to get used to but it is the new me and I have to incorporate it into my life

Have definitely noticed that my emotions have more flair since starting and that has never really gone away.  I feel like I am in control mostly, just can feel them flow and sometimes I feel like I have to be guarded to not let the wrong one out in a given situation.  Heather says I have become a bit more dramatic about things, like animated and abuzz. 

I can remember during my first year, I had cooked a salmon dinner for my dad.  He started being a butt right as I was serving the food and suddenly I flung his dinner, plate and all across the room and screamed something about "trying to do something nice for you and AAAAAARGH!!!!" before storming out.  His comment as I was cleaning it up was about me being "FIERY".

In the end, it will be ok
