So like idk this is a vent post and I have a lot of fear wrapped up in this but recently my mental health has been quite bad. I am starting to think its my estrogen but really it started after a mushroom trip that left me with a lot of obsessive and intrusive thoughts and anxieties (about 2 months ago). Those specific anxieties have mostly dissipated but I'm still left with this feeling of... general anxiety in my chest. Like, it feels hard to breathe kind of? Everything feels overwhelming. And I've noticed that this gets worse when I inject estrogen, and honestly this scares the fuck out of me.

Before this trip honestly I felt for the most part better than I ever have in my entire life. I was so sure that I was a trans woman. I was on the right path. But now it's like, the estrogen seems to be making me feel like shit? Idk what to do. I don't wanna get off estrogen, I don't want to go back to being a man that's for sure. But like I can't even think straight. I feel miserable and I'm scared I was never meant to be a woman or I made all this up in my head and it'll be like this forever. It's incredibly scary.

Honestly idk what to do. I'm 5 Months in. Maybe my levels are too high? Idk. Maybe I need to get my levels checked

I still get a lil anxiety from getting a shot, it is an injection. I dunno, seems normal.

I have OCD so I get the obsessive thoughts and anxiety. It shouldn't be like this forever as hard as that may be to believe when you're in the middle of all that anxiety. Besides going to therepy and maybe getting an SNRI prescription (like effexor) you could always focus on making sure you get enough sleep, food, and doing breathing exercises (it sounds dumb but yes doing box breathing when you wake up and go to sleep and a couple times a day can really help with anxiety, it takes time doing it consistently).

I made a decision today to just not feed the anxiery. Idk. We'll see how it goes. Just gonna try tanking through it lol ๐Ÿ˜
