it feels so weird to say I love this new version of crying on HRT… but it’s so much different than what I’m used to…

you mean to say that I can literally wake up, go outside and look at the green and red trees, the blue sky, the purple, red and pink flowers and literally start tearing up uncontrollably from how pretty it is?

baby animals are so cute they make me tear up immediately… my friend recently got a litter of kittens and just from the videos I want to melt and the tears start falling…

and it’s also literally lifehacks. whenever I start to feel like shit I can just go somewhere alone, introspect, cry about it then when I’m done I actually FEEL BETTER AND REFRESHED!?? I do this almost every day even for trivial stuff it WORKS SO WELL IS THIS HOW IT'S ALL SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE IS THIS HOW IT'S ALL SUPPOSED TO WORK!!?

this is insane I never thought I'd say I love crying :3

I definitely noticed a massive uptick in the number of times I cried when I realized I was trans as well as when I started HRT and holy shit is it both weird and nice! The weirdest one was just this past weekwnd tho, my wife was picking my nose and yanked some hair with a booger, and we both laughed pretty hard about it, I was crying I was laughing so hard, and then I was suddenly, I was just crying. There was nothing I was upset about, but my body just decided it was time to be a sobbing mess. HRT is a 10/10 experience emotionally. Wouldn't change a thing

I'm so happy for you being able to experience his 🥰

That's what I noticed first. Then I had my first ugly crying for the first time in like 20 years. Was really upset and cried for half an hour.

Then I noticed how when I watch something really funny I have a strong physical reaction, not just laughing.

And recently I was watching the Tom Scott video where he went paragliding and at some point noticed that my mouth was wide open in awe. I closed it and after a few minutes noticed it was open again.

Honestly, this alone made HRT more than worth it for me.

Like, it's like I'm no longer just observing life, I'm actually experiencing it.

that pretty much describes it for me. it's living now. I actually feel things when they happen and I'm not just a blank box of stoicism!!!!

crying is fucking amazing and I'm so glad hrt let's us do it, prior to starting the only things that'd make me cry are extreme emotional pain and the very very rare happy tears. now I'll tear up all the time and it makes me feel whole

Omg I'm so excited for this. Hormone doctor appointment is on the 15th of May. It can't come soon enough.

ive been rewatching adventure time for the first time since starting HRT lol and i have realized how much easier i cry during some scenes

[-] chattre@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

omg I should go back and rewatch some shows... preferrably something less emotionally peaking

I think the last time I actually cried was at my grandpa's funeral. So yeah I'm looking forward to eventually getting HRT (still years away from it tho).
