Maybe, I am a bit energetic and overthinking as always but I donât know if I would call it anxiety. At least it is different than it was. It was more like a paralysing fear that made me shake and I thought I am dying every second day.
If this overthinking is anxiety indeed then I think I kinda like it. But then I couldnât know, I never had it differently.
I also fkd this post up a little by saying CBD but it likely was also HRT estrogen, probably mainly. I am not super good at formulating good posts
I would definitely expect the positive effects of HRT to reduce anxiety
Well yeah I think it is more properly attributed to that. But that also doesnât change my point too much. If someone was pulling life together by anxiety, such sudden change is bound to be chaotic. I have plenty of security to insulate against this chaos at least
I just didnât expect I would lose drive that made me grip the first career that was considered trendy that someone mentioned somewhere and I chosen because I had to choose something and maybe prove something
This sounds, to me, a lot like being driven by revenge. Yes it can work, you can force yourself to move with spite, but it's not healthy, and eventually you're going to have a reckoning. "Paralyzing" anxiety is not good for you. Using it to squeeze every last drop of productivity out of yourself is going to leave you wrung out.
I am, of course, not a therapist. I recommend you discuss this with one.
