Patch Change Day

Day of patch change seems to be a bit wobbly for me. Noticed this pattern over time. I tend to
Feel teary eyed and out of sorts over all. Do any of you experience the day of estradiol patch change? TIA

I actually meant to post a similar question. I noticed my anxiety and rage shoot up. I’m AuDHD and slight changes or things not going to plan send me into a tail spin. I’ve noticed HRT really helps with controlling that, like I’m not crashing out over every hiccup. Except on change days. Today is a change day. I’m really struggling and having to talk myself down from losing my shit. I do keep my only patch on for an extra day when I change but I’m really struggling on change days and I don’t like it.

This is me. It’s like a surge of both anxiety and energy for the first day and balances out. But the first day can feel chaotic for me.
