transgender male, my experience with periods worsened. anyone else?
i dont have my period anymore— but whenever i am supposed to get my phantom period i get intense depressive symptoms and it gets me out of wack. i have been depressed for months, but the time right before my period is supposed to start is just the worst.
when i started testosterone i still had my period for a year, and mood swings+irritability would be frequent in that stage, as well as some depressive thoughts or self doubt. now i’m almost two years on it and don’t get my period anymore, although i am emotionally doing significantly worse than i used to in general. before i get my period it’s always terrible thoughts, random waves of depression, increased isolation although i already do that a lot. i know it’s unlikely but does any other trans man report going through the same experience? getting through a day feels like a nightmare since the beginning of it waking up!
