WTF is this about? Hormones?

I’m approaching 60, thought I was fairly settled on HRT.
Feeling unreasonably emotional, but don’t know if it’s due to what’s going on in my life or if I should speak to my GP about my HRT…..
I’m about to retire as I can’t keep going in my current job and can take my work pension at 60. DD1 is going to have a baby soon which I’m thrilled about.
The emotional stuff has been coming on for a while - I feel irrationally depressed at times for no good reason (and I already take an antidepressant) and am weepy at nothing at all.
What do you think? I’d be grateful for any thoughts on this and your insight if you’ve been through similar.

I felt like this on utrogestan.

Thanks for the reply @trainedopossum. Perhaps I should have been clearer. My HRT is oestrogen only as I had a hysterectomy.

Ah okay, so different regimen. Has your doctor had a look at absorption? Patches were rubbish for me, now I'm on two sachets of Sandrena (plus mirena) and a little testosterone. Absorption is good, I've actually had to scale back on the testosterone as my last test was high.

If I'm honest I feel like menopause has thrown me back into an emotional mire I thought I'd left behind in my 30s. My bloods look better than ever (thyroid, vitamin d and iron are at good levels) but I feel paranoid, confidence has taken a nosedive, it's hard work. So I have no solutions, just solidarity 💐
