Binge eating and low mood

[Ahumanjellyfish]

I’m on hrt with progesterone 12 days of cycle.
I have a withdrawal bleed after (sorry if tmi).
mood during progesterone phase is horrific. I’ve heard increasing prog can be helpful ?!
my appetite is huge. I’m dreaming of the kid’s Nutella.
tips advice ?
noted other posts reporting progesterone side effects. Tempted to give up on it.
being late 40s is erm a challenge.

I can't advise on hrt, but you talk about binge eating, and I've always found food has a massive impact on how I feel. Apparently it really affects mental health if you eat junk/ultra processed stuff. Sweeteners used to be the worst for me. You could see how it affects you, and ask your GP about other medication options.
