I have just started hrt to help with depression: as oestrogen levels plummet, so do our serotonin levels, and I preferred the idea of hrt to antidepressents, at least to start with.
At emotional burnout level right now, and just facing up to the fact that I am experiencing c-ptsd. I am sure hormones have something to do with the crisis - but a crisis has to be a way forwards into deeper healing.
