3 days to surgery and I think being off hormones has caused a mild depression, which has resulted in me apparently saying no to all hospital visits and basically opting to do the entire recovery effectively solo. Depression is mean, fear of being rejected is mean, fear of being a burden to others is mean. I suspect you all hate me anyway (depression is really mean).
But I guess at this point I'm doing it solo 🤷♀️
Edit: I'm not fishing for attention, I'm just sharing what my brain does when there's no estrogen in my body. I can't wait to start hormones again after surgery. Having to stop hormones is cruel.

@dee@social.treehouse.systems yeah, going off the hormones sucks and really isn’t supported by evidence. I didn’t have a big depression, but I noticed my laughter came back after I started them again. It really does make a big difference. Best of luck on the surgery and I will ping you to see how you are recovering. Having just been through it, I hope you won’t feel alone afterwards. 💜
