Emotion of the day

[Ivy]

I accept that my body is getting older, but the new limitations can be depressing at times.  And I suppose the hormones magnify that.  

I'm a bit surprised that the hotline doesn't answer.  That's not much help.

All I can say is that it will pass, and to hold on to what you have.

 

And like Betty has said drugs can be a factor.  If that is true it can be fixed.

Hi @Betty K.  I've been on E for several years and P for a couple months.  No T blockers since I was already low.  I think doses aren't acceptable here so I'm not going to say.

Oh that's right, I forgot about not mentioning doses here. Might be worth looking into effects of P? I have heard of strong reactions to it, though I don't share them.

 

In any case, I understand attacks of crying, believe me. I feel for you.
