concepts of time....

There has been a plethora of studies done on the way that people of various ages perceive time (please don't ask me to link, I'm feeling lazy). All these studies show that prepubescent kids experience time at a radically different speed then adults, and as one gets older time seems to get even faster (that is why christmas seemed to take FOREVER to get there when you were 7, but whips around way to fast when you are 50).

My question: does anyone else out there notice that there concept of time seems to slow down when starting HRT? I can only speak for myself... but it feels like the last 5 months have been a LOT longer then they would have before starting HRT. Likewise, the 7.5 months until I can qualify for SRS seems so much farther away then the 9 months I had to wait to get on HRT in the first place.

I think this isn't too out to lunch, since we experience a second puberty, and a substantial amount of changes occur in the brain with the addition of hormones, would the addition of the correct hormones not also cause a change in the perception of time as the first set of hormones did.....




anyone else notice something like that? or am i nuts?
