Today was not a bad day but I feel lost

I didn't have the energy to go make dinner tonight. My girlfriend made me a big pot of tortellini for dinner and I feel awful cuz I didn't make her anything. I'm really overheating and having hot flashes today. I didn't tell her about it cuz I didn't want to bother her with my problem. I did say I was warm and she turned on the fan for a few minutes and it felt really nice. I'm having trouble with my vision and it is starting to hurt more than it did a few weeks ago. I can't handle typing on my phone but I don't have a laptop. It seems I can do it with one of my eyes closed. Fun times.

I was on testosterone for 6 years but I stopped 2 years ago. I've been back on it for a month

Way back when, my voice deepened, I grew facial hair, and I gained a lot of weight. I am on norethindrone to stop my period. I thought I could quit taking testosterone. Until I found out I'm balls deep in menopause and my body is not producing any hormones. So I've taken testosterone every week for the last month. I used to take .3ml but now I'm up to.5ml. I can already tell my voice is changing again. But that seems to be the only thing that is happening. Then again it's only been one month. Pauley helps me with my injection cuz I'm awful at drawing it out. I don't notice any energy difference. My libido is non-existent cuz I have sexual aversion disorder with sexual repulsion. Most trans guys get a major boost but I never did. I'm wondering how deep my voice is gonna get.

Ew

I've been burping up stomach acid for the last 15 minutes. I feel really yucky. My tummy hurts. My head is foggy. I'm gonna eat a Pepto and rest for a while. I'm wrapped up in my blankie like a burrito. One minute I'm cold and then I overheat. Menopause really sucks.

ADHD and menopause / bad combination

I recently learned that low estrogen makes the level of dopamine even lower as they share the same neurotransmitter ( os something like this). I’m now trying to find the correct balance between adhd medication and HRT. Not easy. Does anyone have experienced this? It increased my anxiety level and panic attacks- getting better now but not yet there… #menopause #adhdandlowestrogen

Feeling very down and I don't know why

I don't know what I am sad about. I feel really empty for no reason. It might be hormonal. I'm in menopause and I get hot flashes and my emotions are pure chaos. I'm not producing any hormones and I'm not producing any insulin. My body is broken.

Closed eye hallucinations #closedeyehallucinations #brainwonslowdown #hormoneimbalance #menopause

Does anyone else have closed eye hallucinations? Really weird and sometimes scary vision’s when I close my eyes.

Are you giving yourself grace? 🤔

We can all be gracious to others and give grace to them, as well. Remember it's important to provide yourself that very same grace. 🙏🙂
