I've been seriously considering estrogen/anti-T HRT, and reading other people's experiences the mental effects seem the most appealing to me as opposed to the physical side (not that those seem unappealing tho). I'd love to hear people's experiences here of how HRT has affected their emotions/cognition/sensory perception/connection to the cosmos/etc.
The most significant purely emotional effect it had on me was making it much easier to cry. I definitely like having that as an outlet, and it's a major reason why I'm hesitant to take a break from E.
