Looking for experiences similar…
So I’m curious who - if anyone - has a similar story where the hormones shifting are increasing the symptoms of Nuerodivergence.
Let me preface by saying, I have done all the testing and got an iud when I began feeling really off. my PCP is an angel sent from the stars and will start me on hormones but I wanna know what others have tried and experienced so I can have some references to talk with her about my options. When I did my blood work I wasn’t really low but my estrogen was shifting.
I am 43. I have been overweight my whole life - obviously that has created some deep depression and trauma. I have regular periods still. I only have dryness at the end of my cycle and I don’t have any hot flashes. Oh and I have a crazy intense libido. I am on Lamotrigine for my mental health but I was on Prozac and I felt like nothing was working for my anxiety, irritability etc.
It wasn’t until then that I realized I am that undiagnosed adult that - because I was gifted and can speak well, couldnt have possibly been autistic and because I’m not hyperactive - adhd wasn’t considered. Well turns out… I am both.
I also suffer from disordered eating and I restrict and purge. Because of this I can’t take things that will make me eat or just gain weight in general. I am on Zepbound and I’ve lost almost 60lbs on that medication plus 40 on my own (well because a medication caused me to lose my desire to eat at all). My nexplanon for example caused me to gain 15 lbs in a month and have some really dark thoughts…
BUT I’m suffering greatly with my emotions and my moods. I have stress incontinence and atrophy. So, I am dealing with repeat bladder issues as well. It’s ruining my life. My relationships are suffering. I fight with everyone. I can’t stop crying.
So I’m curious who - if anyone - has a similar story where the hormones shifting are increasing the symptoms of Nuerodivergence.
