This year, xmas was a bit different. I spent the 24th and 25th with Megan's family, which was interesting and not as uncomfortable (at least for me) as I thought it was going to be. I think all went well... we spent the 26th and morning of the 27th with my parents

That's awesome about your bro. My sister doesn't go as far as to correct my folks, btu she's certaintly gotten the hang of it herself.

My depression largely left me when I left school. It was coupled with the knowledge that I was about to get my chest surgery (as I had to wait a bit longer than you did afte starting T) but the number one thing that seemed to help (prior to the surgery) was getting a job and being stealth there. The beauty of making money and making a whole network of friends that didn't know really helped the self-esteem. That and by then I'd been on T over 2 years so the puberty-induced depression was also coming to its natural end. How long have you been on T now? I found I was depressed the 1st two years of both my HRTs (estrogen and testosterone).

Steve is actually my step-father, but I realize that I didn't mention that in my post, so it's easily confused. I also started HRT after top surgery (not long after, three weeks to be exact).

I've been on T for ... just over 7 months. I keep forgetting that I'm putting myself through a second puberty, so it's good to have a reminder that hormones ARE involved in depression. I think I was on such a high from actually having top surgery and starting T that I've just now started to calm down and return to reality, so to speak.

Foolish me for assuming, makes an ass out of me every time. I apologise.

Sorry I forget you did surgery 1st. Well then definitely give yourself a break for the depression. The kicker will be if you're unlucky like me an menopause doesn't just happen on the side. I had it hit me like a brick wall. The oddest things was being able to tell which mood swings were due to T and which were due to menopause lol But hopefully you will be like most guys and you won't even know it's happeing :)
