    Genuinely. Like for real real. Ive been on HRT for 4 years and it still feels like getting high. When I did the bi weekly shots I was so effected by the estrogen that it impeded my ability to drive. I feel so good after my injections yall dont even know

        I’m just really sensitive to it. When I get below ~100 on my levels I get pretty bad depression symptoms. I lose awareness and comfort in my body. When I take the shot it gives me that comfort back. So I go from being separate from my body to in touch with it. That sudden awareness was jarring and took time to acclimate to. Its not the estrogen itself but my bodies reaction to it. Didn’t consider the woman driving memes when I wrote this.

        When my levels get below 100 I get depression symptoms. When I take the shot they go away. Generally the higher my estrogen is the better I feel but the difference between 100 and 400, current peak and trough, is really noticeable.

      This reminded me of that Onion article that was basically “Ladies, it’s time we admit to men that we just love how abortions feel” and went on to describe it as essentially inducing orgasm.
