I’ve been considering HRT for a while to help with my mood swings, I can’t just say PMS because it happens before during and after my period, I will feel very emotional and sad and feel like crying for no reason.

I’m not sure which kind of HRT is right for me but I’d be fine taking testosterone if that would help because I’m transmasc. Has anyone had a positive experience balancing moods with HRT?

I have a history of OCD, panic attacks and anxiety that started around the same time as puberty started for me. I started getting a lot more sadness and “feeling like crying” (like a physical sensation that I am about to cry but it doesn’t come out) around my period at age 22 and that’s been ongoing for the last 3 years to present day (I’m turning 25).

(I have OCD)

I’m truly so sick of my obsessional thinking. I have this deep held belief that obsessional thinking is a way to avoid danger and make sure needs are met. Like if I’m hungry, and I try to meditate - this thought comes that if I don’t ruminate on the solution to my hunger, I may forget to take care of it. As if the feeling isn’t enough. I want to try to not think but I’m pretty sure (because I’ve tried this before) that after awhile of not thinking I will “binge” and think through my obsessions and worries really intensively because I’m afraid of what needs I could’ve missed while not thinking. Any thoughts?

He always has things to chime in and say. He always comes out in the quiet. I feel changed and broken by whatever he thinks is most important. I’m completely functional and I have a good life (unless you ask him).
