Hello Mindhak,
To answer your question about people feeling better on HRT, I would say that's certainly a possibility. In my case, I feel like I can experience a far greater range of emotions on estradiol than I ever could on testosterone. However, this comes with the catch that while my happier moments are a welcomed change, there's also the struggle of learning to deal with the more intense despairing emotions. I can't simply just "compartmentalize" or otherwise shut off my emotions like I could pre-HRT. Also, I'm much more emotionally expressive (even when it might be inconvenient) around others. I can smile now without needing an obvious reason to smile, and I blush far easier than before. Everyone's different though, and I'm sure some may not experience such a dramatic shift in their emotions and mindset.
Lastly, it takes time time for HRT to work, especially when you're in the initial stage of trying to find the form and dosage of HRT that works for you. If you do go on HRT, I highly recommend you get your levels checked on a routine basis, so your doctor and you can monitor your progress.
