Experiences please? Ovarian Cyst impacting hormones/moods

I didn't know whether this was better here or in Menopause but I am really struggling at the moment.

I'm peri and on HRT - things haven't been great (loss of confidence, energy) but generally stable and ok. Then in October I started getting belly pains and my moods and symptoms got worse. My sleep went to shit so I made more lifestyle adjustments and that is improving, but my anxiety has gone through the roof. It was terrible over christmas and new year then it improved and now it's gone crazy again.

I had a scan last week and I have a 3cm cyst on my ovary. (doesn't sound big but may be interacting with scar tissue from Endo op). I've read that there have been studies that Ovarian cysts can cause depression and anxiety. General hormone shit. I'm assuming this is what is happening to me due to the timing of what has happened.

Anyone have experience they could share? The journey/outcome, how long it took to resolve?

This is interesting. I have recently had issues with anxiety/depression and have a complex cyst. I thought my mental health symptoms stemmed from the shock of thinking it was cancerous for a bit. But maybe it is a hormonal issue?!
