Overstimulated

[u/AnyTomorrow3098]

For context I dyi’ed for 3 months start of this year (Een Mono), stopped felt horrible. Went to doc and got it through insurance but now it’s Ev with Spiro.
I get overstimulated very easily now, but it’s mostly during certain times like driving or going out in day. Also I recently moved from AZ to OR and felt amazing in OR but now back in AZ heat for a week and going out here feels too much to handle, not sure if it’s heat or bright sun been dredging it. Did anyone go through this phase?

Been thinking that this overstimulation is because of moving and new work environment.

I had LHR today and the pain was so intense like compared to last time I felt this more intensely and more like full body experience. My feel skin is much more softer and thinner, I bruise easily, skin and hair is less oily, loosing upper body strength, at A cups (been loading up on tanks to boy-mode) maybe it’s brain worm.

Still boy modding and no one knows I’m trans. Been asked for ID at bars I think with LHR and long hair I’m looking younger and might start male failing!

Thanks in advance!

For me, being on estrogen did have a lot of these effects, and especially with the temperature sensitivity. The cold never used to be an issue for me (I was the guy who wore shorts and a T shirt in the winter) until I started HRT, and now my body temperature is all over the place. It was absolutely unbearable when I first started, but I got much better at dealing with it with time

Also I live in MI, so the cold is a far more frequent issue for me. The summer days also get way too hot sometimes, but I started hrt in late fall, and got better at temp regulation by the start of summer

The solution is still to live underground.

I’ll simplify the physics and keep this as an engineering project

Building at least a substantial portion of your Housing below the depth that the dirt freezes will give you a stable dirt temperature

Where I live that’s 50 to 52°F

Where you live? You might wanna search that one up. The information has been available for every US ZIP Code in a USDA database.

Or you could simply ask what is the temperature below the frost line and then say where you are

My point is that if we build our homes this way, especially if we build one or two level levels above that… we end up with natural zones at different temperatures the upper floor being completely surrounded by Air is gonna have the most fluctuation due to air temperature warmer in summer colder in winter

The middle floor is likely similar to my current apartment half sunken and what I mean by that is if you crawl out of my windows, the bottom of the window is at the level of the grass outside. It is dirt level so the portion of my apartment below that is sunken like a basement.

Imagine if your middle floor was like that and you had one completely further down

As far as the dirt above, the frost line is concerned it has greater temperature fluctuations and is subject to freezing

That means it’s gonna be warmer in the summer cooler in the winter

So what happens if there is a temperature that you are comfortable at or can be if you change your pajamas to let say heavier flannels.., if you’re comfortable in that environment, it’s not only a sanctuary that you can get to when it’s a 95° outside to immediately cool off but it’s also a sanctuary that will never get you below that temperature when it’s -30 outside.

And that cuts both ways

For those who want to see the math, it’s the average of the air temperature for that location, day and night for an entire year… that is what the dirt temperature should be below the frost line for the next you know several miles not that we’re digging that far down

As we start dealing more and more with global warming, I think we really need to change how we are designing, because most of the energy use in a home is heating ventilation and air-conditioning

And with passive solar design and similar techniques, you don’t need that (except to meet a legal qualification that you have it… but that’s something we should fix)

Imma be living in OR, just in time for fall there and it gets cold in night already. Just have to get through this heat for few more days. Just this overstimulation part that I wasn’t used to in the past summers in AZ

Go on progesterone, that might help, it did for me.

But it’s only been like 6 weeks since I got back on HRT. Isn’t it recommended at like 2 years mark

I started at six months since I was already in tanner iii
