I have been on HRT for a little over two months. I am taking sprio and sublingual estradiol.
These treatments have pretty much cured my depression, but otherwise I feel pretty much the same. I kind of expected estrogen to feel actively different most of the time, but so far that doesn’t seem to be the case.
However, today I felt my nerves for the first time on HRT, and it felt very different. I get stage fright on occasion. This time wasn’t worse or anything, but it felt so very different. Like the nerves were in my body instead of my head.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with performance anxiety before and after HRT? I’d also love to know if are other experiences that feel distinctly different that I can look forward to.
Thx in advance. Love you all <3
Thanks for sharing! If you ever do find yourself on a stage, do let me know.
I have experienced all of the emotional changes you describe. It turns out I was depressed the whole time and thought it was normal. I too was unaware of the general edge everything had.
My libido is also gone, but it was mostly an annoyance for me so no notes.
I’m definitely going to try cannabis again. It felt like a placebo honestly. Maybe it will be different now.
