What we do and why we do it
To some degree it depends on where you stand. I feel like it would be presumptious as a NED stage I to have any genuine idea of how it feels to consider this question realistically in other people's shoes.
I don't have much fear of making changes, although I am much more tuned in to the practial genuine need to hang onto whatever health care benefits I have.
I think that a big part of the problem is that the sheer fact of loss of hormonal impetus gets ignored, not only by the doctors but US as well. When we had lots more hormones we had more drive. I think we need to "allow" ourselves a lot of credit for making the most of whatever we have left. I believe that the loss of hormones does actually change who we are to some degree -- our personality and our motivations -- and we have to find some way to learn to live and make new choices with the new person that we have become.
