Okay you read and get yourself ready for hormones ....not .. This morning i got a ticket on crying train .. My understanding about girls crying came to me half way thru shower ... first it does not hurt to cry.It  releases  a wave of emotion to me (how about you girls ) ?Here is the way i felt after the cry .  PS i have beautiful wife .Just hold me please and that in it self made me warm and give me time to get my mental legs under me .. Note to self find a safe place at work and just let it go (sounds like a plan i hope).Even after this kind of start of my day i must say never felt so alive .... Learning to live in our new skin will be greatest journey and joys of my girly future .Boys 0 girls 100  joking you know .final score in 4 or 5 years .aka sara 

All I know is I couldn't make it thru Angel Beats without crying before, and I still can't lol

As someone who always cried at things many others didn't worry about, it seems it hasn't effected me all that much. Except, when I am between pills, sometimes I just become "le uber bitch" as my friends would say, I might start making cutting pills into 1/4ths just so that I can more evenly space them.

Hormones have made me more emotional..

I do cry more easier.. I cry like a baby at sad movies, when I am upset.. Estrogen is emotional hormone..

Girls being superhuman.. Agreed... The things woman have to go through to look good.. I have worn some uncomfortable items.. To make me look good..

I agree. The ability to cry is a perk and curse of womanhood that I have been denied. Even on hormones, I do not cry no matter how upset I am. I would gladly take the bad with the good if I could do it, but, alas, it is not to be.

I sometimes wonder if the psychological effect of hormones, rather than the hormones themselves, is what allows people to explore and express their emotions more, or even less. I know a large number of people who cry at the drop of a hat, and aren't taking HRT.

The feeling within yourself that you're being who you are can go a large way to exploring who you are, and everything which comes with that. Sometimes that act is all that's needed for the subconscious to say it's okay to do everything I've been repressing all this time. I am me, and this is how I am. Deal with it. Hormones may be the catalyst, not the cause, for some people.

[/quot]That does make sense to me .Once you can start living your life thats natural the walls do come down .. My crying is more hormonal driven because it comes out of the no where ( bam tear up and cry ,relax move on with what i was doing ) Thanks aka. sara

I've always been a very emotional/sensitive person.  At times, it's nice to be in touch with my feelings and to experience a wide variety of emotions.  At other times, it feels like a curse.  It's hard to explain.  Sometimes I feel like empathy and compassion can get in the way and cause me grief that I shouldn't have to experience.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy these feelings, but sometimes it sucks to feel so much.  In any case, I don't really think hormones have changed much for me.  I'm the same person I've always been in this regard.  Sometimes a bit more emotional or moody, but nothing too earth shattering compared to what I've always been like.

Great to hear from you thanks .super neat avatar ..aka sara

I've been pretty emotional all my life. However now on the hormones I seem to show it more not caring if someone see's me cry.

Hormones have had a HUGE effect on how much I cry. Pre-hormones, I always felt like I should be crying, and yet never could. It felt like there was a sort of mental "block" there keeping me from really feeling anything. And I'd feel terrible when sad things happened, because it was like "WHY are these things not affecting me?"

Now I cry at everything. And not just an occasional little sob. Tears. Real tears. Real pillow-soaking tears. It feels SO good! It's like the emotions are finally being released, finally actually felt, instead of being trapped in there and making me feel like I'm not even human.
