How controllable are the early HRT mood swings, really?I'm about to start E but I'm scared it'll indirectly fuck up my grades in college.
keep your dose at a stable and high enough level and the emotional changes wont be that bad. also remember that many of the changes such as increased crying come from changes to soft tissue within the tear duct and not actually emotions. dont fall for honscience and placebo yourself
>>42568841things were only bad emotionally when i was just starting out, before my levels had stabilized on a consistent dose
>>42568841I had really really bad issues but I also started getting some kind of nerve pain that I've never met anyone else who also had it.
>>42568841You just have to keep in mind that 90% of life is just showing up. Do the assignment, show up to class, no matter how miserable you are or how shitty of a job you do, if you just keep it moving you won't fuck your life up too bad. Go to the library if you need to force yourself to study
i never had mood swings i think it's a case by case thing
>>42568841if you're asking questions like this on /tttt/ then you're fucked anyway nona, don't stress about your college grades too much and try to enjoy your life
>>42568841Be prepared for a whole bunch of emotions you are not going to have any experience controlling. Be prepared for emotions to hit far more intensely than you are used to controlling. You will get surprised sometimes.
>>42568841honestly i didnt feel any, but i am very hondosed so idk. what i did feel is that boobs hurt
>>42568841i got awful grades the semester i started. it’s not really something you can avoid. just lock in. dont be afraid of telling your teachers what’s happening if there’s a class you’re struggling in and its a woke region/school. even if you don’t expect it a lot of them understand that early HRT sucks
>>42569404I'm hoping the fact that it's my literal first semester here gives me enough leeway, intro classes are easier than highschool so far. How long would you say it takes for emotions to even out on HRT?>>42569402I'm hoping for small boobs, my mother is 34b so maybe I'll luck out. Big boobs seems so inconvenient and cramps my personal style>>42568852>>42568880>>42568900Praying I can stay as an unemotional autist instead of a crybaby autist>>42568894Truly. I just have to stay focused>>42569371Scary. I haven't cried in years>>42569287I'm not like you people. I'm high IQ and locked in. I know I'll succeed I just like having a second opinion. Where else am I supposed to ask, reddit?
>>42569507you could always end up with a high iq and clocked out like the rest of us. but yeah just stay on top of it. I don't know if I've ever had a discernible mood change separate from my pre-trans bipolar type 2 diagnosis so i cant say
I started crying at McDonalds because I was 5 min too late for the breakfast menu.considering i had practically a 10 year streak as male without shedding a single tear that says something.
>>42569507>I'm high IQ and locked in.weren't we all... idk it depends. if you're an ugly fuck like me you'll feel the need to cry about it a lot. you'll probably also be generally more sentimental. cis women go to college just fine though, and you don't have to deal with periods, so i wouldn't lose tons of sleep.
>>42570708This is understandable. McDonalds deserves at least one Michelin star for inventing the McGriddle. But seriously, I refuse to believe estrogen would turn me (MENSA certified genius) this retarded. No offense to you, because you had a valid trigger, missing out on some pure gourmet shit.>>42570680>you could always end up with a high iq and clocked out like the rest of us.I will break the cycle. I am the boymoder Ubermensch>>42570713>if you're an ugly fuck like me you'll feel the need to cry about it a lotI post myself here and everyone says I'm a luckshit and that they want to tickle me inappropriately and that I would never make it as a man. Also I have had an unnaturally bloated ego my whole life which will help me cope. Probably.>you'll probably also be generally more sentimentalThis is terrifying. Can I schedule this? Cry only on weekends while forcing myself to watch shit romance anime so I can get the faggoty feelings out before I go back into the real world?>cis women go to college just fine though, and you don't have to deal with periods, so i wouldn't lose tons of sleep.I just have to tell myself that I have it better than everyone else, and I'll survive. This is a good strat
>>42568841I started on prog this month and have been on the verge of screaming ever since. Iv also had morning sickness twice
>>42571026I will not be taking prog because flat chests are regal and refinedBut also I hope you feel better soon nona
bump
prob gonna mess you up, after E my depression got worse and my sleep schedule diedworth it tho, if you low dose it the sooner the better
>>42568841i had no emotional changes but that might just be because i have nothing going on in my life to feel anything about
get ready for an emotional rollercoaster if you're trutrans or have bpd genes
>>42571014>Can I schedule this?no. i once bawled my eyes out because the people at burger king forgot my fries and im prone to getting teary over cute animals or anything especially sad/sweet. i don't see it as a bad thing though tbhon its nice to be able to get the emotions out i always hated never being able to cry.
>>42571055>I will not be taking prog because flat chests are regal and refinedThat would be a mistake. Prog is half a cis woman's cycle.
>>42572158Were you a melancholy person before transitioning? Do you think that might be part of it? I feel like a lot of trannies are a little up their own ass about their feelings which is what leads to this sort of behavior. I don't repress anything I've just never had any desire to cry at things, but maybe dysphoria blunted my emotional response or I gaslit myself in some way>>42572107Low dose? Shouldn't I just start at normal levels?>>42572153i dont have bpd genes i have autism + aspd genes according to my psych but i never got a formal diagnosis for the latteralso define trutrans in this context, i dont have agp if this is what you mean
>>42572206>i dont have agpnot trutrans then you're ok
>>42572206>I've just never had any desire to cry at thingsTestosterone inhibits thisYou know, for being a stable genius, you are pretty uninformed>i dont have agp if this is what you meanhaving or not having agp doesn't change if you are trans or not
