Unexpected T pro: my cat loves aggressively head butting my facial scruff after a day or two of not shaving
Unexpected T con: my cat’s hair gets caught up in my facial hair any time I do this and it’s annoying to get it all out
yes, HRT pretty much instantly cured my depression, the only experiences like it before were from taking drugs (usually stimulants)
I do think the changes to my sleep could be related to the depression lifting (that seems somewhat obvious), but I also think it’s more than that because even without the return of motivation and anhedonia typical of my depression symptoms, the nature of my sleep seems to fluctuate with my hormone levels (just before injection my sleep tends to be deeper and longer; when my estrogen seems to be peaking I don’t seem to be capable of sleeping in).
Note, I only take estrogen, no progesterone yet (I’m just over 3 months into starting HRT, I’m on monotherapy currently).
