Oh good. Something else to look forward to

It’s rough. HRT really helped me but I know not everyone can be on it.

Can’t wait. Glad it’s helping you :)

I wonder whether this would apply to autism too, considering we're in the same family so to speak?

I found puberty and adolescence a horrific sensory nightmare and social hell scape, complete with crushing depression, and was expecting something similar

However I appear to be sailing through menopause with help from my hrt. Apart from moments when I definitely need space, I think I'm doing better than I expected to. Maybe I'm finally becoming a wise old woman lol 😆

Yeah im 38 and idk if its because I havnt had to interact with the profesional world for a few years , or if it's this, but I am definately feeling peak with stimming.

I sometimes make uh, I guess I can describe as dinosaur sounds, to release angst (usually try and frame it as goofy humor) and I almost fuckin did it in public the other day. I caught it, but jesus christ im losing control of my mask fast

Making weird sounds and singing made up songs is my specialty! I totally get the dinosaur sounds. Oh, the masks we wear.

That's why I needle down that estradiol!

That was honestly the first thing that came to my mind too. I saw the graph and thought it looks so much like my experience with my mom.

I can confirm the post partum one. Though I'm not sure if it was because of increased demands or changes in my brain.
