Is it normal to actually physically feel your emotions? After half a dozen months on hrt, it feels like my emotions are much more visceral, and I feel like I'm a schizo because of this. Maybe I felt emotions the same prior to it, and this is just placebo? How can I even be sure that this is something which actually changed?
>>43526331this perfectly normal. My emotions were like hollow imitations of the real thing before I transitioned. HRT is just making you feel real emotionsyou're going to feel the need to cry fairly often. Like the slightest hint of a memory will set it off. Give in to it, you're processing old traumas
>>43526404I still barely cry, but I'm actually capable of doing so sometimes, as opposed to never being able to cry before hrt. There's also no old memories resurfacing making me want to cry, which definitely does make me feel like a phony.I'd also like to add that the difference I'm feeling still is very inconsistent, which makes me doubt it a ton
>>43526331Thats just estrogen
>>43526639And what if it's just placebo? If it is, how would I know?
>>43526709It's always placebo. The "mental effects" are a spook
>>43526331from thumbnail i thought the cloud was a mound of drug powder lol
>>43526881not for me. the mental effects are very dramatic
>>43526331My therapist always asks what I physically feel when I experience emotions, so I think it's actually *not* physically feeling emotions that's weird.
>>43527609This is genuinely so hard to believe
Its placebo, starting hrt is just a catalyst for unrepressing your emotions and undoing that male socialization approach to dealing with them
>>43528713Maybe it really is just that. Although, I wouldn't say that I did anything consciously
>>43527639they should come up with an emotion that increase activation only in the butt
idk i dont get that. i think i did too much at once. i started e and quit smoking at the same time so i am just angry. and these questions always miss people who dont self observe. like people high on coke that cant tell from the inside only people outside notice. so the only thing i notice is extreme impatience road rage lmao which is obviously lack of nicim definitely a million times more friendly and talkative and agreeable but its subtle and only noticeable on reflection. cute things make me dizzy. hot people give me butterflies. generally happy thats about it.
