I'm definitely less psychotic coming up to the start of my period. I have a reduction in moodiness and irrational reactions. I've suffered with depression for a number of years. This is the same.

Hrt has completely changed my ability to live. I was at my whits end (not realising why) with my inability to do life! All i could do was sleep, i was attending a sleep clinic it was so bad. I had zero motivation and lost all of my confidence. I'm only 42 and out of work due to severe burn out and other mental health conditions. I'm now starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm almost off antidepressants and can actually get through the day getting stuff done and not always needing a 2-4hr long nap to recover! We tried increasing my dose to help with my recent onset of Adenomyosis symptoms during my period (severely painful, heavy & clotted) but this affected my mental improvements without much change in the period symptoms so i reduced again. I have been given an alternative treatment option of taking Cerrazette (progesterone only contraceptive) instead which will completely stop my periods but I've never been keen on taking contraception and Id like to keep track and know when I'm post menopausal, so unsure about that yet.
