i genuinely think my brain wasn't functioning properly before i started estrogen, specifically with storing memories
there are some things that happened pre hrt that i care about a lot but i have basically zero memory of. like just straight up erased from my brain
and around when i started e that just kind of. stopped happening. i think i can remember things properly now
it hurts a lot to completely forget a relationship that i care a lot about. like everything about it. and I'm glad it's finally going to stop now
has anyone else experienced something similar or am i alone with this
@lea yes, happened exactly like this to me too
@lea i have no memory of a lot of stuff pre- estrogen, my memories post-e are a lot more coherent?
@tjhexf@tech.lgbt yeah i feel that
@lea Estrogen definitely greases my brain machine better
- posted by Natalie@shroomie@seafoam.space bit over a year ago, right when i started dating lexi
everything since then i remember pretty well but almost everything that happened even right before i started is just gone :(
@lea but, I've been able to re-remember some stuff too, with the help of my therapist
@lea well, not as coherently, but certainly recalled some more details
@lea@lea.pet i've kind of had the pre-hrt experience but it might not be because of not having hrt
i've also heard things like that before but don't remembber where
https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/biochemical-dysphoria i think this is kinda related
@eyrie@froggie.gay yeah, i know that biochemical dysphoria is a thing which is why i made the connection with hormones being related to it in the first place
