It's been a little over a month, that I have been on new prescription. Increased spiro, estrogel to estrace, Its been a emotional roller coaster, from being very joyfull, anger which then converts to sadness because of some triggers. I never had all this mix of emotions when I was on estrogel. I definitely cried more. My tears bring me way back to my teen and childhood memories. But before hrt or even when I was on gel. My past emotions didn't bug me. I was more like eh this happened move on an learn. But feeling my past made me trigger my past more, and made me cry more. Why does this happen?

Mikka,
I can't tell you why. But I can agree the ride is an "E" ticket roller coaster ride.
(For those that are too young to remember an "E" ticket got you on the best rides at Disneyland)
Hugs,
Jeanette

I guess I need to stay positive, and can't let the doubts get to me.

What I suspect is the bump in the Spiro. I am watching one of the FTM members who just started T had he has given a very detail description about the effect of T on his emotional state. Emotions he once felt are blocked off and he is in total control of his emotions. It appears that your T levels are now low enough that the emotional wall has come down.

I was very emotional on oral E, on Estrogel, not so much. I also find since adding a little T, I'm much more in control and I personally like it. :)

I'll come clean, my parents know I am seeing a therapist, my parents know lately my emotions are going up and down, and my depression and crying in front of them. I have never cried in front of them since I was in HighSchool. And I'm 28 now. Y'all don't know the struggle oh how bad I want to come out to them as a women, and explain to them my emotions lately, and my hormones. But they need to respect my feelings first, some topics are very sensitive and don't want to be brought up. I don't like being "triggered". Anywho I feel they need to respect me as their children first before I can tell them my transition.
