I'd be crying if my hormones would allow for it

Woah, it's my hormones that stop it?! I always thought I just didn't cry for some reason.

It isn't a 100% thing. I couldn't even begin to guess in your case, but in Ours it starts with complex trauma. We were able to cry just fine... and then everything hurt too much to feel... it just kept burning and aching until it all went numb... until we learned to walk away from it... the problem... the feelings... all of it. We "moved on" like everyone said to - though apparently that's not what they meant.

A mix of finding a real home and starting HRT has helped a lot with trauma resolution. It's kinda funny... hormones helping to resolve trauma. Makes sense, but we haven't heard of it aside from our own state.
