Yes, it happens to me but not very often and it eventually fades faster than before HRT.

Generally I have been much more calm on HRT but have found myself noticing peoples habits more and then finding them annoying.


But in general stupid people frustrate me, not just the boys.

When I was young, like high school and 20's, the term killing rage would have been appropriate. White rage is the term that was generally thrown at me. I wouldn't have any recollection of the violence and general havoc that I had just created. I'd just wake up, people yelling at me or asking if I was all right. Other times, I knew perfectly well what I was doing. It was extreme, yet so tranquil at the time. It wasn't until later that the impact of it all would hit. I'd hit the bottle, and sleep it off.
But I learned to control a lot of it while in my 20's and 30's by just doing outrageous things that my friends wouldn't dare to do. Most all in fun with no harm to anyone except myself. I excepted the pain, I earned it. I wore it like a badge. It was my FU to everyone.

While that was all fun and not, I still have times of rage. I also have a safety net to catch me and let me down softly. Either by letting me do it, and or sometimes a little help from an injection or two.

Starting in a little over 3 wks, I'm hoping for enough of a change in my T levels that I will see or feel a difference. Low level stuff, but one of the determining factors of just where do I want my life to go from here. Sure, the lessening of the GD is first and foremost, but to get a dual relief from these? I may just want to be happy again. Always.

I always thought that the GID and a hormonal imbalance made me the person I'm perceived to be, and now finally my therapist believes this is true, too.
I lived in their hell, now help me find my way back out.
And they are going to finally help, instead of just giving me more or different meds that only control, but never fix anything.
I'm almost excited at the possibilities (I don't want to jinx it).

Hormones won't 'make' you happy, that is something you need to find in a different way. they can make it possible to be happier by not adding to the misery.

T lessened my rage moments by a lot. I used to not remember a fight but would remember being pulled out of one. That is no longer an issue. (So far)

A lot of posts, not just here, seem to indicate a certain level of 'misery' being lessened by dropping T levels. I'm assuming that. Less misery, more happy. I'm also hoping that a change in hormone levels will lessen the effects of GD. Again, I'm assuming that will allow the happier side of me to have more control over my emotions.
I know the hormones themselves won't make me happy, but if a change in levels affects my emotions in a positive way......
I find it interesting that higher T levels in FTM's has a calming effect. I assume, again, that this is because the levels for that person is where it makes them comfortable. Less 'misery', more happy.
I have learned to control my rage fits, a lot through mental gymnastics, but some of it is with meds that I would prefer not to be taking.
If HRT helps with calming me at all, helps smooth out the emotional issues with my GD, then it will be a two fold success. If it just smooths out the GD, still a success. Maybe then I will be able to learn better control over the fits of rage, without the meds.  :)

     Your calmness shines in your posts by the way.

Thanks for showing me an error in my post and for the calmness comment.

The T seemed to take the whole rage thing down to almost non-existence for me. I hope it has a similar effect on you.
