on vulnerability (CW, sui mention)
on vulnerability (CW, sui mention)
Hey all, this is my first post so hello and thank you all! Have been on HRT (estradiol, spiro, progest.) for about 7 months and the entire experience has been in a simple term, life-saving. I wasn't actively sui but I was extremely depressed and probably heading that way. Anyway, on to vulnerability. I noticed a pretty immediate shift in my mood upon starting HRT. A combination of my medication and not feeling so depressed has added much more definition to my emotional life and it has pros and cons. One key thing I noticed was how much more vulnerable I am willing to be in my relationships. I noticed it yesterday when I got into an argument with my partner. I remembered earlier that week how I had related something to them when I was feeling very vulnerable but trusting. The contrast of trust in the argument vs when I was feeling open with him was very jarring and I felt very gross for having let him in at that capacity earlier. I'm not sure if its necessarily a problem but its something that I need to keep in mind as I continue.
