So, yeah, I am dropping everything but the estradiol for awhile...the worst part of what I have been feeling is a return of some of the feelings I had lost for a long time... I parts of myself I dont like...irritability, selfishness, lack of empathy, a tendency toward harshness and competitivness...I catch myself lately saying and doing things without regard for the feelings of others...I hate this. I always hated those parts of myself.
Sorry if I have been grouchy or short with anyone lately.
The worst part is knowing that many of those same characteristics are the same traits that have allowed me to succeed in work and business.
It is such a hard thing to find the right balance.
I hope you will all understand.
Hugs to everyone.

You're always super nice and considerate to me, sis. I haven't noticed any difference. Perhaps the people you were being short with deserved it?

Anyways, maybe you should take low doses of a DHT blocker and see if that changes your mood. That way you could still boost free and total T while possibly minimizing the impact on your psyche?

It's just an experimental suggestion though. I'm not sure which form of T could be causing this....or even if it's not just the lack of PM. PM always made me feel unnaturally happy .

Michelle could be right that its more an issue of not enough E, as well. Although, I would point out that Sammie's T level was at near zero before dropping PM and supplementing some T. It very likely could have risen to some degree at this point, at least enough to cause DHT to be produced again.

That's why I lean towards DHT being the culprit. I don't think enough time has passed for free/total T to rise that much. Then again what do I know...I pretty much gave up trying to design my own program and went pharma.
