I haven't kept track, but I noticed I've been crying- and feeling- a lot more since I started HRT.
Right now it's mostly not good. I fractured my leg a week ago, and I've been stuck at home in thankfully painless and unmedicated recovery. I don't have a family, or many close friends close by or that I talk with every day.
I'm 25 and I've been through a lot prior to starting HRT. I feel a little bit like I'm reliving my past traumas, or at least my body is and dragging my mind along with it.
I'm also noticing that I am coming at some of those things with fresh eyes. For example, finally, I can start building a life I want to live for myself and not for others. I can start defining my value on what I do for myself rather than in a relationship with someone else.
Here's to getting over this initial puberty slump. I'd like to stop crying so much!
