Good morning friends. I’m not under the care of any kind of mental health practitioner but I recognize I probably should be. My ability to cope is a roller coaster even though the situational stressors in my life have been pretty much all the same for many years now (money issues, relationship issues). From time to time I’ll go to my insurance website and look for a therapist then chicken out. Yesterday was a VERY low point and I almost made a therapist appointment but remembered that I have an appointment to get HRT on August 1.

So I’d really appreciate if anyone could speak to how HRT helped your ability to be resilient with life’s challenges, and how long you were on HRT before the benefits (if any) started to be evident. I truly believe my hormones have been whackadoodle since my mid twenties when I started taking Depo Provera and have never stabilized since. I don’t want to get my hopes up for a miracle but I sure would love an improvement. I’m not ruling out therapy but I’d like to see what HRT does first.

Thank you!

    HRT helped my mental health immensely. I was in a really really dark place and going on HRT (with no other life changes) improved things within a week.
