    Stage 5: I both know that I’m a girl and am consistently too depressed to do anything about it. Hrt is hard to get where I am and tbh I don’t have the energy to fight back against the world as they crush my spirit every day.

      My ADHD got better after e, but I also needed to lower the dosage. If the dosage was too high, taking meds had an opposite effect.

        There’s a fascinating reason! Estrogen has a profound impact on your brain!

        In addition to being one of the main hormones that is responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, estrogen also plays a role in cognitive function. It modulates the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters help with focus, concentration, mood, and memory.

        That’s why when a ciswoman with ADHD has a massive dip in estrogen (my body will essentially suddenly stop production of estrogen to trigger a period) their symptoms drastically worsen.

        And why a person taking e might find their ADHD symptoms lessen!

      No idea. I didn’t make the meme, but my guess is it’s a reference to a sliver of time in r/egg_irl’s history where every other post was Re:Zero themed.

        Denial (“I feel comfortable being addressed and seen as a guy, so I can’t be enby”)
        Anger (“Why do people always ignore the ‘it’ in ‘it/he’?”)
        Bargaining (“I just care a lot about respecting pronouns, so that’s why I get upset. I’m just doing this to add to enby visibility, because I don’t really mind.”)
        Depression (“I suppose people just don’t like referring to humans with pronouns normay used for objects, that’s just how it is”)
        Acceptance (“Okay I definitely feel good about being called ‘it’, so I’m probably agender”)

        Bargaining again (“Maybe I’m some in-between? Not really cis, but not really enby either?”)
        Proceeds to cycle between Denial, Bargaining, Acceptance and Bargaining again, with Anger and Depression playing a constant tug-of-war as backdrop

        Insert meme of mother yelling at her kid “Why can’t you just be normal”, but it’s me yelling at my Identity “Why can’t you just be simple”
