I’ve only been on hormone therapy for a couple of years but there have been at least few times where I’ve seriously thought, “what am I doing? Did I really need to do this? Should I continue doing this?”
There is a guy I used to work with whose wife is schizophrenic and took medicine to keep it under control. There were times when she asked herself similar questions and went off her meds. The result was, as you might imagine, disastrous.
MY wife’s answer to those questions is an emphatic, “YES!… you need to keep taking that little pill.” Tamping down the T has made me much more pleasant to be around. And being powered by estrogen and it’s resulting physical effects has been a very positive experience for my mental and emotional well being.
