Title: emotions and tears
Post by: Kellsie on May 20, 2010, 10:14:56 PM
This past month has been really an emotional time,  I have been on hormones for the past 9 months with a recent increase in my meds 1 month ago.  I have done a lot of crying and I have had a roller coaster of emotions.  Thank God for my wife.  Even though she just said she just understood and gave me a shoulder to cry on.  I was already an emotional person and now puberty at 39?  WOW am I nuts or what?  Just kidding.  For those women just beginning this journey find a good therapist and a good friend, or cling to those of us here at Susan's as you are not alone.  I really appreciate all you ladies here at Susan's and those of you whom have pm'd me.  I am so thankful this week is almost over and I am that much closer to Haveing my journey 1 week closer to being over.  I truly understand why all my gfs were so emotional as teenagers.  Breasts have grown a full cup size and they are still tender.  Well just wanted to kinda keep up my update on my first year on hrt.

I kind of like the crying. I restrict my calories a lot, and the other day I had a big birthday meal with my partner. After the meal I was more full than I'd been in months. Somehow that made me want to cry, and I cried all the way on our drive home lol.

well, I have only been on hormones for almost a week, and I maybe they haven't started to kick in yet.
currently I'm on a small dosis of E a day and nothin besides it, only E.
But I think that my emotions are somehow affected by them.

I seem to be much more calm, than I used to, but then in a flash i go from zero to bitch in less than 5 sec.
That I have never tried before...so maybe the small amount of E, still get it's way in me.
sorry no tears, yet  ::)

Just give it time Jessie.  The floodgates of womanhood will visit you also.  ;)  I remember thinking the first couple of months that it wouldn't but guess what?  I was wrong.  LOL.  But I am enjoying all the little quirks that this journey has to offer so, enjoy my dear.

Kellsie you are soooo right lol! I was so sure of myself, thought I had gotten my emotions under control and HRT wouldn't change it. First month: "Hey I was right! Look at me, look at me everyone!" two weeks later... I was crying over everything and anything :laugh:.

I'll be looking forward to a more calm temper, however as I said, I am not as temperamental, as I used to be.
But, yes, I indeed look forward to what ever the womanhood has to offer, It can only be better that what I'm transition from.

But I still, have my doubt's about crying of nothing....well I'll let you know in a couple of months if I too get overwhelmingly emotionel...part of me hope i do. :-\

I have been on hormones for 9 months now and it was not until month eight that the emotions hit.
