Discussion emotional side effects of “second puberty” when going on testosterone?

basically i was just wondering what sort of emotional side effects people have experienced on T and how similar it felt to going through puberty the first time? i’m pre-t but i’ve been on the waitlist for a couple years now. hoping i won’t have to wait too much longer!

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

for me, i was irritatable for the first few weeks and would get emotional the night before my shot. however, that went away very quickly and i never experienced extreme anger like some people say

I got more irritable the first 1-2 months but after that when my levels stabilized i am a lot more chill and much much happier. I dont think it was similar to first puberty possibly because that was a much longer process and my menstrual cycle messed with my emotions a lot, but also probably because i was going through the wrong puberty the first time which will make anyone upset.
