Castration regret?

[dancinggizmos (imported)]

I want to pose a question to all fully qualified members. Do any of you regret your castration? Have you become depressed or even suicidal since being cut? Do you know of anyone who has?

Thank you.

My depression ceased with Testosterone as I am a masculine type of guy I would not go on a female hormone, you need some kind of hormone in your body Progesterone etc something to maintain.

Antidepressants are not really recommended as they can lower the Testesterone.

You should make sure all other Physicial conditions are checked before treating depression on a younger male as Testestrone can occasionaley be the problem and Anti Depressants SSRI's can really adversley effect treating in the depression especailly if it does not work and others have not.

With Testosterone my Depression is cleared I take 5 mg 2 x a day every 12hrs, but some do excellent on 5 this is just where I was started as my previousl levels were on the upper range of normal. For other purposes some guys just take 2.5 mg of androgel to elevate the moods and prevent bone diseases etc.

Your body needs some kind of hormone this cures depression caused by hormones in many cases or decreases the depression.

In my case it was cured as I was never previosuley depressed then became depressed on low Testosterone levels and with replacement it has worked great.

Even though this has been said here so many times, I will say it again. Castration is a VERY VERY big and permanent step and should not be taken lightly. There is also a VERY VERY big difference between castration fantasy and castration reality. With that said again.

After reading the responses by eunuchs on this and other threads it seems that eunuchs who really thought out why they wanted to be castrated and researched and knew the effects and the permanence of castration, and thought it out over a considerable length of time were the ones most satisfied with being castrated.

Those who were castrated because of some castration fantasy or who had not fully thought out why they wanted to be castrated and what the effects and what their life afterword would really be like were the ones who most regretted their castration decisions.

My bottom line here is that castration is a very big permanent step. It should never be taken lightly, and it should NEVER NEVER be done because of some castration fantasies. If it is done at all, it should only be done after real and lengthy honest consideration of why you down inside really want this and what your life will really be like forever afterword.

Again, it should NEVER NEVER be done because of some castration fantasies thinking it will make your dreams come true. If it is done because of some castration fantasies it will be instead a nightmare come true.

The ones who seem happy with their decision and who least regret being castrated are those who really thought long and realisticly about what they are getting into, why they really want it, and what their life forever afterword will be like.

Being something of a T-girl I have absolutely no regrets but that is probably to be expected. I doubt many T's will regret castration or penectomy seeing we have the wrong parts to begin with.

But you can never be sure of what you're actually getting in to, can you? I mean, once my penis was gone, I found out that I could never have imagined what is was like in real.

Thanks to EA I choose to do chemical castration first. But it definitely has changed me. There were side effects. At first I didn't do high enough FHRT and had depression and night sweats.

But I want to be female so for me once I upped my FHRT it was good. GREAT NEWS! I LOVE IT. But I could see a masculine person being very disappointed with the results. I have lost sex drive, lower energy, lower strength, have to work much harder at not gaining weight. OH yes I am becoming more feminine.

DO TEMPORARY CHEMICAL CASTRATION FIRST TO SEE YOUR RESULTS!!

I probably should start a new thread called m2f "eunuchs" Because....

LindaLeah I have been puzzeling over the issue of female hormones (My wife and her issues with Menopause) and I want to ask you if it would be the goal to have a true female "mix" which would give you a balance of Estrogen(s), progesterone and Testosterone so you maintained a sex drive (But a "female" one)???

I've done more reading on this and many m2f transexuals end up living a rather asexual lives yet natal females have strong sex drives. The main difference (I think) is transexuals shun Testosterone to the point they have less then natal females. Would the goal not be to maintain that level as long as its a normal female level of it?

I have no regrets other than like several have said it had not happened earlier. Eighteen would have been a good age but sadly I had not figured out why I was not comfortable with me. A failure as a boy but not a girl. Then one day the light came on, a eunuch.

I have used anti androgen for 8 years. I became impotant within few mounths it was what I wanted. After 2-3 years the side effects were starting, I have had memory loss, concentration problems and severe arthritis pain just to name the worst ones. Each of these side effects are known to cause depression and I was infact depressed. I have tried all kind of medications, including anti depressants but none of them solved my problems. So I have stopped anti androgen but my testicules would no longer produce enaugh testosterone so now I'm on TRT. If I don't use Androgel for 2-3 days, all the castration side effects come back, I belive that (1 year) temporary chemical castration is recomandable because you may like its effects then you may choose to go on with chemical castration or surgery but the side effects may appear years after, then it'll be too late. You'll have to be, like me, on TRT,
