Finally!
I had my second appointment at a clinic last Wednesday and my NP decided I was right to go back on HRT.
A conflagration of events has occurred and now I'm finding myself extremely emotional, which was expected, but the events in question are leading to depression. Not good.
Another side-effect I did not expect and had never read about is libido. I'm not sure I've read of anyone stopping HRT for years at a time, but even before I did stop I didn't have much of a libido. I'm suddenly finding myself extremely horny the last two or three days. This is especially bad when combined with one of the issues I'm dealing with that is causing my depressed mood.
Raging hormones got me into irreparable trouble with my best friend of decades when I first transitioned. I need to be especially conscious of their effects this time around and I don't want the same thing to happen again with a different person.
