Why are my emotions so out of control?

John D asked:


I am a male to female transsexual just starting hormone therapy. My emotions have really escalated since I started treatment and I now find that I cry at the silliest of things, or laugh hysterically at things that may not be that funny. I am loving the physical changes, but I did not expect to be on such a hormonal roller coaster ride. Do women experience this on a regular basis, or will things level off?

    Welcome to womanhood. Things might get better at times, but unless you start taking some anti-anxiety/depression meds, - which I know a lot of post-ops do, you will be like any other women with her crazy emotions. Whee what a ride.

    Yep, that’s normal. Fun hey? But then testoterone makes men aggressive and reckless so I think we have the better end of the deal.

    John, cry baby cry. You won’t really be a woman unless you ovulate, have a menstrual cycle and can carry a baby. So let the tears flow !

    Well if you are just starting off it may take some time but you will probably level off some. Women are more emotional then men in general so don’t expect it to dissapear all together! You can and probably will learn to control your emotions better with time.Until then enjoy the changes… Welcome to womanhood,hope you enjoy it!

    Hormone therapy will affect a person emotional, maybe by listening to some soft music will help you in your emotional.

    you are going through what women go through at puberty. Your body is not used to the estrogen coming into it, and it is adjusting.
