How are we supposed to get to know someone in a romantic context?

Hello ladies,

Hope everyone is well.

I have zero experience in dating or connecting with men in a romantic way. I am late diagnosed as audhd, but I also have avoidance tendencies. Now I am more interested and ready for a relationship (late 30s).

The issue is I get attached easilly if I am being myself (oversharing early on, being too honest,..) and it doesn't give space to know someone well before developping the emotional intimacy. There is also this risk of being manipulated or taken advantage of.

It takes a lot of masking and effort to go slow (I had a few days long experience and it was hard, I felt relieved when misallignement was spot on early on). I felt heavilly masking afterwards.

Your suggestions please!

Thank you

Not physically if that would be an issue, but personality wise, character, values, maturity, where you are at life. Would you? Why or why not? What would you change about yourself to like that version of you?

I would, but the opposite sex version of me would never approach 🫠 or none of us!

Hello ladies,

Hope you are managing well 💞

I just turned 39 and have been on HRT for 10 months now. I am also AuDHD and my body is very sensitive to hormonal changes.

I've been using 3 sprays of Lenzetto per day and 100mg of cyclic progesterone. It was good and I felt way better! But due to shortage of Lenzetto, I had to switch to patch for the last 2 week.

I am using a telehealth provider and I need to get my HRT from another country, which makes things more complicated for me.

My doctor prescribed 50um patch, which is equivalent to 3 sprays. I used my 1st patch 2 weeks ago and the anxiety was horrible I couldn't sleep and had to rip off the patch in the middle of the night. It felt like I was going into continuous panic attacks.

I took a couple of days without the patch to calm my system a little bit. Then I lowered the dose to 1/4 by cutting the patch and went gradually from there. Today I am using 1/2 and I still feel very anxious. During those last couple of weeks some other symptoms also resumed: insomnoa, fatigue, vasomotor symptoms, depression/low mood, not caring about anything ...

I am planning to email my provider. But first I need to have an idea what is wrong. On paper, it seems like my dose is lower than it used to be, but I am not sure if this form is working for me. And it's a hustle to get new hormones from another country!

What can I do? Help please!

Thank you
